    Democritus

    Democritus
    He proposed the concept of the atoms.
  • Law of conservation of mass

    Law of conservation of mass
    States that mass is neither created nor destroyed in any ordinary chemical reaction.
  • Antoine Lavoiser

    Antoine Lavoiser
    He discovered the role oxygen plays in combustion. He also discovered the phlogiston theory.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    The atomic theory was a break through in our whelers traveling of matter.
  • electron cloud model

    electron cloud model
    It represents a sort of history of where the electron has probably been and where it is likely to be going.
  • J.J. Thomson

    J.J. Thomson
    He discovered the earliest theoretical description of inner structure of atoms.
  • Cathode ray tube

    Cathode ray tube
    It's a vaccum tube containing an electron gun and a fluorescent screen used to view images.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    He is best known for the names alpha,beta, and gamma rays to classify them. In 1903 he deflected alpha rays with both electric and magnetic fields. In 1917 he passed alpha particles through a gas of nitrogen and occasionally observed scintillation of hydrogen impacting on his screen.
  • Plum pudding model

    Plum pudding model
    Ratio of an electron to be 1.759x108 coulombs/g.
  • Rutherford Model

    Rutherford Model
    He conducted a famous experiment where he made gold foil with alpha particles.
  • Gold foil experiment

    Gold foil experiment
    You would fire a beam of alpha particles through a piece of foil and observe the location at which the particles landed on the screen.
  • Neils Bohr

    Neils Bohr
    He discovered the atomic model. He described the nucleus as a compound structure.
  • Henry Mosely

    Henry Mosely
    He arranged the periodic table according to atomic number,not atomic mass. Determined the charges on the nuclei of most atoms.
  • Bohr planetary model

    Bohr planetary model
    Are able to explain the stability of atoms,as well as the emission spectrum of hydrogen.
  • Erwin Schrodinger

    Erwin Schrodinger
    He contributed papers of the scientific literature. He discovered wave mechanics.
  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan
    He designed the fine tunung of experiments,proved the implications for the atomic theory. He also discovered the electron and it's charge.
  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    He discovered the neutron.
  • Quantum mechanical model

    Quantum mechanical model
    Explains the behavior of particles in the atomic and subatomic realms.
