Atomo

Atomic Theory

  • Demócrito
    400 BCE

    Demócrito

    He was the first to introduce the idea that matter is made up of indivisible basic elements, called "atoms."
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    He postulated that matter is made up of very small particles called atoms, which are indivisible and cannot be destroyed. Atoms of the same element are equal to each other, have the same mass and equal properties.
  • J. J. Thomson

    J. J. Thomson

    It is a theory about atomic structure; The atom is composed of negatively charged electrons in a positive atom, embedded in it as well as raisins in a pudding.
  • Jean Perrin

    Jean Perrin

    He found that cathode rays deposited charge on an electroscope, confirming that they were charged particles.
  • Rutherford

    Rutherford

    He postulated that the mass of the atom was concentrated in a small region in the scepter and in its crust electrons were found spinning around the center.
  • Bohr

    Bohr

    He proposed a atomic model where the electrons they revolve around core in levels well defined.
  • Sommerfeld

    Sommerfeld

    He modified Bohr's model, said electrons could also rotate in more complex elliptical orbits.
  • Schrödinger

    Schrödinger

    He proposed a atomic model where the electrons they revolve around core in levels well defined.
  • Heisenberg

    Heisenberg

    Model based on the Principle of uncertainty (It is impossible to determine the speed and position of a electron instantly)
