Representation of different types of vibrations which form the shape of atomic orbitals
The atomic orbital model, also known as the Schrdinger model, was introduced by Erwin Schrdinger which suggested that electrons did not actually move in distinct orbits but in a wave-like behaviour as the exact location of an electron in an orbit cannot be precisely calculated. Each layer of shell contains a number of sub shells which correspond to the shell number. They can further be divided into orbits, with a specific area of space which can contain up to a maximum of 2 electrons. This, however, is not the actual representation of the actual atomic structure but allows us to grasp the concept more easily.

Rutherfords atomic model Rutherford thought that the atom consisted of a black big ball at the center which was the nucleus and small red points moving around the nucleus which were the electrons. Rutherford's new model for the atom, based on the experimental results, had the new features of a relatively high central charge concentrated into a very small volume in comparison to the rest of the atom and containing the bulk of the atomic mass, like that of the solar system. After Rutherford's discovery, scientists started to realize that the atom is not ultimately a single particle, but is made up of far smaller subatomic particles. Following research was done to figure out the exact atomic structure which led to Rutherfords gold foil experiment. Bohr Model The Bohr model, which Niels Bohr came up with, showed that the atom was a positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons which orbited the nucleus, with electrostatic forces acting as the attraction force between the nucleus and the electrons. It was a modification of past models, including the Rutherford model. The Bohr Model is also known as the BohrRutherford model because it is a quantum physicsbased modification of the original Rutherford model. The Rutherford model suggested that electrons could move anywhere within the volume of the space surrounding the nucleus. Contrary to the Rutherford model, the Bohr model imposed restrictions on the movement of electrons such that they could only orbit the nucleus.
