  • Thomson

    he discovered the electron
    he discovered the eletron in a series of experiments designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high vaccum cathode ray tube and an area being investigates by numerous scientist

  • Bohr

    He discovered the electron and radioactivity. He proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom based on quantum thory that enregy theory that enery is transfered only in certain well defined quantities.

  • Heisenberg & Schrodinger

    They discovered there was no exact position of a quantum particle.
    This was founded in the Heisenberg Uncertainty which helps find the exact location of a quantum particle.
    Particles look like a cluster of particles.
