  • Rutherford publishes atomic theory

    CitationHe described the atom as having a positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons. This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the nucleus
  • Niels Bohr creates his own model of atomic structure in which he applies the quantum theory

    Niels Bohr creates his own model of atomic structure in which he applies the quantum theory
    Image CitationCitationBohr's model suggested that electrons orbited around the nucleus and greatly determined an atoms chemical properties. He also assumed that electrons traveled in stationary orbits defined by their angular momentum from the quantum theory.
