Lomonosov's planetary model

Lomonosov's planetary model of the atom suggests that an atom resembles a tiny solar system, with a dense nucleus at the center acting like the sun. Electrons orbit around the nucleus much like planets orbit the sun, each moving in specific paths or shells. This idea was an early attempt to visualize atomic structure, emphasizing a centralized core and orbiting particles. While modern models have evolved, Lomonosov's concept helped lay the groundwork for understanding atoms as composed of a nucleus and surrounding electrons, illustrating the atom’s complex but organized structure.
