Figure 1 shows two early models of the atom.

Figure 1: Two models of the atom, labelled Model A and Model B.

a.

Name the models of the atom shown in Figure 1.

  • Model A
  • Model B
[2]
b.

Compare Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom with the Bohr model (Model B). Describe the similarities and differences.

c.

Nitrogen has two stable isotopes: nitrogen-14 (14N^{14}\text{N}14N) and nitrogen-15 (15N^{15}\text{N}15N). Both isotopes have the atomic number 7. Explain why these two atoms are classified as isotopes of nitrogen. Refer to subatomic particles in your answer.
