Mitchell Rollins · Answer 1

Rutherford explained the nucleus of an atom, while bohr was more into the electrons and their energy levels.

Macey Schwartz · Answer 2

Bohr improved Rutherford's model by proposing that electrons travelled about the nucleus in orbits that had specific energy levels ... When a metal atom is heated, it absorbs energy and the electrons jump to higher energy levels.
