    Can you tell me... what is Bohr's model? What is JJ Thomson's model?

    The Bohr Model has an atom consisting of a small, positively-charged nucleus orbited by negatively-charged electrons.
I don't know about thomson's model.

    OK. It's obvious that if you don't know what Thomson's model is you can't very well describe the differences and similarities. You could have read about that model in your text or you could have done a Google on it. But I can do that for you here. Thomson described the atom as similar to a "plum pudding" in which the atom's + charge essentially spread over a certain volume and the electrons were imbedded in the + part of the pudding.
