  • Thompson Model

    Thompson Model

  • Hantaro Nagaoka

    All atoms have a central nucleus. Electrons orbit around it.

  • Rutherford Model

    Rutherford Model
    All of an atoms positive charge is located in its nucleus.

  • Bohr Model

    Bohr Model
    Neils Bohr found that a electron can move from one energy level to another, when atoms gain or lose energy.

  • Louis de Broglie

    Louis de Broglie
    porposed that electtrons have some properties of the waves

  • Electron Cloud Model

    Electron Cloud Model
    Erwin Schrodinger developed equations to describe motions of electrons in atoms. This would lead to the electron cloud model.

  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    confirmed existence of neutrons, with no charge
