helped revolutionize the the atomic structure of an electron. made the plumb pudding experiment to demonstrate the electrons in an atom.Thomson used cathode rays produced from the cathode were actually a stream of negatively charged particles called electrons
-
became known for the theory of relativity which is the basis for the release of atomic energy, and also creates the special theory of relativity.

Geiger counter to measure radiation and devised a counter for alpha particles which lead to Rutherford's atomic theory

-
He is known for the Heisenberg uncertainty principle which is the that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory.
-
Chadwick is best known for his discovery of the neutron. his discovery of nuclear fission lead to ultimately the development of the atomic bomb.
