History of the Atom By Marcus Sterner

  • Daltons Atom

    Daltons Atom

    Proposed an "atomic theory" with spherical solid atoms based upon measurable properties of mass.
  • J.J. Thomson Atom

    J.J. Thomson Atom

    Studied "canal rays" and found they were associated with the proton H + .
  • Rutherford's Atom

    Rutherford's Atom

    Using alpha particles as atomic bullets, probed the atoms in a piece of thin (0.00006 cm) gold foil . He established that the nucleus was: very dense,very small and positively charged. He also assumed that the electrons were located outside the nucleus.
  • Bohr's Atom

    Bohr's Atom

    Developed an explanation of atomic structure that underlies regularities of the periodic table of elements. His atomic model had atoms built up of sucessive orbital shells of electrons.
  • Chadwick's Atom

    Chadwick's Atom

    Using alpha particles discovered a neutral atomic particle with a mass close to a proton. Thus was discovered the neutron.
  • Modern Model

    Modern Model

    Um Still the same as now
