    Democritus
    Everything is made of particles.
    Atoms are physically, not geometrically invisble.
    Between atoms lie empty space.
    Atoms are indestructible, have been and always will be in motion.
    Used analoges of his senses.
    Looks like the substance it caomes from.

    History Of The Atomic Model

  • Dalton

    Dalton
    All matter is made of atoms.
    Atoms are indivisble, and indestructible.
    All elements of given elements are identical in mass and properties.
    Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kind of atom.
    A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
    Used a chemical reaction
    Looked like a atom and two molecules.
  • Thomson

    Thomson
    He added and changed electrons.
    Used the Plum Pudding Model and the High Vaccum Cathoderay
    It looked like a sphere of positive matter; in which electrons are positioned by electrstatic forces.
  • Rutherford

    Rutherford
    Atom consist of nucleus.
    Contains whole positive charge and whole atom mass.
    Electron rotate on orbits.
    Used the Gold Foil Experiment
    Looked liked a planetary.
    Nuclues in middle.
    Electronms circling.
  • Bohr

    Bohr
    Electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy.
    Electron energy depend on size of the orbit and lower for smaller orbits.
    Used a mathemartical model.

    Plannacks Constant

  • Heisenburg and Schrodinger

    Heisenburg and Schrodinger
    You can not measure the position and momentum of particle simultsneously.
  • Aristotle

    Aristotle
    Didn't believe in atomic theory.
    Believed in four elements.
    Matter made up of pieces of four elements.
    Used Obsevation
