Atomic Model
The Atomic Model is a scientific representation that explains the structure and behavior of atoms, the basic building blocks of matter. Over time, various models have been proposed, starting with the Dalton Model, which described atoms as solid spheres. Later, the Thomson Model introduced the idea of electrons embedded in a positively charged "soup," leading to the Rutherford Model, which depicted a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.
The most widely accepted model today is the Quantum Mechanical Model, which describes electrons as existing in probabilistic clouds around the nucleus rather than fixed orbits. This model incorporates principles from quantum mechanics and provides a more accurate understanding of atomic behavior, including electron interactions and energy levels.
