  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    Dalton accurately determined the mass ratios of elements involved in the reactions. His atomic theory explains the conservation of mass in a chemical reation as being the result of seperation, combination, and rearrangement of atoms.
  • J.J. Thomson

    J.J. Thomson
    J.J. Thomson determined the ration of the atoms charge to its mass. He also concluded that the mass of the charged particle was much less than that of a hydrogen atom. Another thin he identified was the first subatomic particle called the electron.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    He calculated that an atom consisted mostly of empty space through which electron move. He also concluded there was a tiny dense region called the nucleus.
  • Niels Bohr

    Niels Bohr
    Bohr proposed the quantum model for the hydrogen atom. He also predicted the frequencies of lines in hydrogen's atomic emission spectrum.

  • Louis de Brogile

    Louis de Brogile
    Jouis de Brogile saw only whole numbers of wavelenghts are allowed in a circular orbit of a fixed radius.
  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    James showed that the nucleus contained another subatomic particle called the neutron. The neutron has the same mass as a proton, but it carries no electric charge. Alsp electrons, protons, and neutrons account for all mass of the atom.
