Which of the following correctly orders the
events in atomic history?
A. The atom has a small dense positive
nucleus.
B. The atom was a small dense sphere
C.Electrons exist in orbitals, or the most
probable location
D. The atom at electrons stuck in an overall
positive atom
E. Electrons exist in perfect orbits based on
energy levels.

Respuesta :

The history of the atom passed through a certain sequence until our recent interpretation of atomic theory.

The correct sequence of atomic theory is;

  • The atom at electrons stuck in an overall  positive atom
  • The atom has a small dense positive  nucleus.
  • Electrons exist in perfect orbits based on  energy levels.
  • Electrons exist in orbitals, or the most  probable location

The beginning of the atomic theory saw the discovery of J.J Thompson which led to the plum - pudding model in which the atom was described as a sphere in which electrons are stuck in an overall  positive atom.

This was followed by Rutherford's planetary model in which he concluded that the atom has a small dense positive  nucleus. This was followed by the model of Bohr in which the electrons exist in perfect orbits based on  energy levels.

Lastly, the contemporary model of the atom is called the wave - mechanical model in which electrons exist in orbitals, or the most  probable location.
