    Democritus (Where it all Began)
    Greek Philospher Democritus, came up with the idea that all matter is made up of invisible elements. Democritus lived over a century. Democritus stated that Atoms could not split into smaller particles. Image by Jusepe de Ribera—The Bridgeman Art Library/Getty Images.

    John Dalton (New Theory! Atoms)
    John Dalton conducted a theory that matter is composed from atoms of different weight and is mixed with different ratios, determined by weight. John Dalton has made a major contribution with his conepts and ideas to the Atomic structure , due to the fact of his amazing workings such as; the discovery of his Theory, which helped future scientist to improve and develop their own theories about the Atom.

    Helped start the TV
    Sir William Crookes created a cathode ray tube, which later on in his years became the basis of Television. WIlliam was one of the major factors of the development of Atomic Physics.

    Things can GROW...I mean GLOW
    Wilhem Rontgen discovered that things can glow if exposed to cathode rays. He named these glows X-Rays. His contributions has Advanced the diagnostics's of medicine and 21st Century physics.

  • Discovered what Radioactive Particles do to Atoms

    Discovered what Radioactive Particles do to Atoms
    Pierre and Maric Curie made a concept that radioactive particlels break down Atoms, and release radiation. Marie's works were significant because she prepared the steps of the discovery for James Chadwick, of the Nuetron.

  • Electrons discovered "Woo hoo!"

    Electrons discovered "Woo hoo!"
    Joseph John Thomson discovers the Electron throught the Cathode rays properties. Through this discovery, enabled the Atomic structure to be able to create the link between negative charges and positive charges of atoms.

    Albert is over
    Albert Einstein, proposes new ideas about relatively, and guessed about the particle nature of light. Einstein created the formula E=mx2, which provided evidence to the of existence of Atoms.

    Measurement of an Electron

    Robert Milikan figured out the charge of an electron. Millikan's observations of Einsteins calculations proved Einstein's formula was correct, which developed Bohr and Einstien's further reaearch later on.

    "Structure of Adoms... , its called atoms

    Ernest was born in New Zealand and attended the basis of his courses at the University of Cambridge (England). Ernest Rutherford disovered the theory of structuring a atom. Ernest is the major factor of the information on Radioactivity.

  • "The Bohr"

    "The Bohr"
    Niels Henrich constructed the bohr atomic model, with electrons travelling in orbits around the nucleous and chemical particles being determined by how many Electrons are present in the outer orbits. Neil attended the University of Copenhagen.

  • "Found an Element Boys"

    Henry Mosley discovered an atomic number of an element through study of an X-Ray Experiment. Henry Mosley used self built equipment to determine every element's identity is unfolded by the number of protons the elements has. Mosley created the world's first atomic battery.

    "Why does Math needs to be with Science?"
    Erwin Shrodinger created an equation to determine the possibility of finding how many electrons, at any given place surrounding the nucleus, called the wave equation.

    Nuetron detected
    James Chadwick was a Physicist who discovered the nuetron. James was born in Manchester in England,1891. Chadwick recieved a nobel prize for Physicist in 1935.
