Atomic Theory

  • Thomson: The discovery and identification of the electron.

  • Bohr: He found out that electrons orbit around the nucleus. Also that each electron has a certain amount of energy

  • Dalton: Daltons atomic theory proposed taht all matter was composed of atoms, indivisble and indestructible buliding blocks.

  • Robert Millikan: He measured of the elementary electronic charge

  • Rutherford: He found out that atoms are mostly made up of space. Some particles where deflected by the gold foil. He concluded that the atom had a small positively charged dense center. He called the nucleus

  • Werner Heisenberg: Creation of quantum mechanics. (Which is the branch of mechanics that deals with the mathematical description)

  • James Chadwick: Discovery of the neutron.

  • Hantaro Nagaoka; He thought that electrons couldn't be located in the positively charged atom
