Rutherford model, also called Rutherford atomic model, nuclear atom, or planetary model of the atom, description of the structure of atoms proposed (1911) by the New Zealand-born physicist Ernest Rutherford.

Who made the neutron planetary model?

Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885–1962) in 1913 created a model that allowed electrons to travel without losing energy by going in defined orbits. He related it to the orbits of planets around the Sun.

What is planetary model?

According to the Bohr model, often referred to as a planetary model, the electrons encircle the nucleus of the atom in specific allowable paths called orbits. When the electron is in one of these orbits, its energy is fixed. ... The electron is not allowed to occupy any of the spaces in between the orbits.
