Answer

Rutherford–Bohr's model is a representation for the atom where electrons revolve around the nucleus in different circular levels, each with fixed energy and fixed distances from the nucleus. The Bohr model explains how electrons can move to outer orbits by absorbing energy and becoming excited. Energy is released when the electrons fall back to a lower state.
