Five main points of Dalton's atomic theory are
1.Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms.
2.Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties.
3.Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.
4.Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds.
5.In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged -
thompson theorized that atoms were made of negatively charged electrons, or "plums", surrounded by a positivly charged "pudding"
-
hanatro proposes the existance ofan atoms nucules
-
rutherford experiments and states that atoms have a positivly charged nucleus with negetivly charged electrons moving randomly around it
-
bohr proposes that the electrons move around the nucleus in an orbit at fixed distances from the nucleus
-
these two help to form the electron cloud model where the nucleus has protons and neutrons and has a cloud surrounding it wher you are likely to find electrons, the denser the cloud, the more likely you are to find an electron

chadwick confirms the existence of neutrons, and that nuclei contain them
