-
First one to know that there was an atom
-
Came up with atomic theory's
-
He created the periodic table
-
Created an dynamic theory of elements
-
Coins the word "electron" as a fundamental unit of charge
-
Showed that Cathode rays are composed of electrons and who measured the ratio of change to mass for the electron.
-
Ernest thought of the atom having a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons.
-
He classified that electrons travel in stationary orbits defined by their angular momentum and electrons have the lowest level.
-
Description- He argued that the x-rays should depend on the charge on the nucleus . So that means the atomic number was equal to the positive charge.
-
He contributed my developing the mathematics description that describe the paths of electrons would most likely follow in their orbits around nucleus
-
James Chadwick proved the atomic nucleus contained a neutral particle which had been proposed.
