Believed that all matter consisted of extremely small particles that could not be divided.
-
All matter is made up of individual particles called atoms, ehich cannot be divided.
-

-
Atoms have a central nucleus. Electrons move in orbit like the rings around Saturn.
-
Atom has a dense, positively charged nucleus. Electrons move randomly in the space around the nucleus.
-
Electrons move in spherical orbits at fixed distances from the nucles.
-
Describe te possible locations of electrons around the nucleus.
