    Daltons Atomic Theory
    Was discovered by John Dalton. Explained atoms in different elements could be separated by the mass in their weight.
  • Electron Cloud Model

    Electron Cloud Model
    An atom model Where particles are no longer depicted at particles.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    Proved that radioactivity has transmutation of one chemical to another.
