hope this helps!

Explanation:

the atomic model has been subjected to several changes throughout time. first came the plum cake model proposed by JJ Thomson. the feature of this model was that the electrons existed embedded in a sphere of positive charge. the drawbacks of this model was that the embedded electrons cannot exist inside the sphere of positive charge without cancellation. next was the model suggested by ernst Rutherford where the atom consisted of a nucleus of positive charge and the electrons revolved around the nucleus. this model was relatively correct but by the laws of electrodynamics a charged particle moving around a nucleus would lose energy constantly and would spiral into the nucleus making the atom unstable, but as a matter of fact the atom was a stable unit of matter. So the danish scientist Neils bohr proposed the bohr model also referred to as the quantum model of the atom. this model incorporated max planks quantum theory where the orbits were exhibited as discreet shells having a particular energy level and the electrons that gained more energy would skip an energy level up thus solving the Rutherfordian contradiction.

the bohr model is widely accepted even today but it only works with atoms of hydrogen having one electron and wasnt applicable to most other atoms. the current model is an edited bohr model where the electrons are present around the nucleus in probable locations present inside a fuzzy cloud....

well that's pretty much the brief history of the atomic model. mark it as the brainliest if you found it helpful

cheers!
