Question

Use selected software or digital tools and try to create animations or simulations of various atomic models, and share them in the class.

Answer 1

I used a digital simulation to study different atomic models.

• Dalton’s model: Represented the atom as a solid, indivisible sphere.
• Thomson’s model: Showed electrons embedded in a positively charged sphere.
• Rutherford’s model: Showed a small, positively charged nucleus with electrons around it.
• Bohr’s model: Showed electrons arranged in fixed energy levels around the nucleus.

Observation:

Atomic models developed over time as scientists discovered new subatomic particles and gained a better understanding of atomic structure.
