  • Democritus
    450 BCE

    Democritus

    He proposed that all matter was made up of tiny things called atoms. He has little or experiments or evidence to back up his theory.

  • Antoine Lavoisier

    Antoine Lavoisier

    He proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass. This law states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.

    Billiard Ball Model

    John Dalton Created the Billiard ball model to show a visual of what an Atom looks like.
  • Amedeo Avogadro

  • J.J. Thompson

    J.J. Thompson

    He proposed that all atoms contain negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons.

  • Plum Pudding Model

    Plum Pudding Model

    It was first proposed by J. J. Thomson.
    Like negatively charged "plums" contained in a positively charged "pudding," electrons are surrounded by a volume of positive charge.

  • Albert Einstein

    Albert Einstein

    Albert proved the existence of atoms. His atomic theory stated that any liquid is made of molecules.He developed the theory of relativity.

  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan

    He determined the charge magnitude of an electron. He proved and explained his discovery by using an oil drop experiment to find out the charge of an electron.

  • Neils Bohr

    Neils Bohr

    He proposed that outer orbits in an atom could hold more electrons than the inner orbits.

  • Solar System Model

    Solar System Model

    The Solar System Model is a system consisting of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons created by Ernest Rutherford. www.britannica.org
  • Henry G.J. Mosley

    Henry G.J. Mosley

    He discovered that each element contains a specific number of protons. He was also , English scientist who was Rutherford's student.

  • Electron Cloud Model of the Atom

    Electron Cloud Model of the Atom

    Proposed by Erwin Schrodinger it was a small but massive nucleus surrounded by a cloud of rapidly moving electrons.

  • Erwin Schrödinger

    Erwin Schrödinger

    He was one of the "fathers of quantum mechanics". He created an equation that accurately calculated the energy levels of electrons in an atom.
