Stoney G.J.
He is most famous for introducing the term electron as the unit quantity of electricity. and later sparked the science of nucleosynthesis in stars -
J.J. Thomas
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 -
Albert Einstein
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. -
Hans Greiger
Geiger counter to measure radiation and devised a counter for alpha particles which lead to Rutherford's atomic theory -
Ernest Rutherford
Rutherford is responsible for the gold foil experiment. He figured out that the atom has a nucleus and a positive and negative charge. Rutherford did not know that the nucleus was positive or how it was healed together. -
Werner Karl Heisenberg
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. -
James Chadwick
Chadwick is best known for his discovery of the neutron. his discovery of nuclear fission lead to ultimately the development of the atomic bomb. -
Enrico Fermi
Enrico Fermi was the atomic architect of the atomic bomb and the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity
