He started his studies around the 5th century B.C. He had an idea of the atom and made an experiment to prove it. He broke up a piece of gold until he couldn't anymore and he discovered it was still an atom.
-
He researched olefiant gas and hydrogen. He also discovered the different properties in chemical combinations.
-
He investigated the connections between x-rays and salt. He also an element in the uranium atom.
-
He discovered the properties in the cathode rays and he broke up yttrium to look at the spectrums.
-
He tested that Lenard rays could travel a longer distance through air. He also discovered that cathode rays were 1,000 times lighter.
-
He discovered the hydrogen atom. He noticed the electrons rotate circularly around the nucleous of the atom but only som orbits are permitted.
-
He studied the nuclei of the atoms and he discovered the nuclei of light atoms could be disintegrated.
-
James Chadwick proved the existance of the neutron and he tested how all the parts work together.
-
The current day atomic model is John Daltons atomic model.
