ATOMIC MODEL

 WHAT IS ATOMIC MODEL

• The atomic model is a scientific representation

describing the structure of atoms, the fundamental
building blocks of matter. It evolved over time, with
key contributors such as Dalton, Thomson,
Rutherford,Bohr and Schrodinger refining our
understanding of atomic structure. The model envisions
a central nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.
