Democritus was the first to have the idea of the atom and named it "Atomus". It all began with the belief that elements could be divided into little structures.
-
This model was made after Democritus and is said to be uncuttable. That is why it is a solid round cirle.
-
He was a famous philosopher. He disagreed with Democritus and his theories. Although it led to more and more discoveries and theories.
-
-
He reopened the idea of the Atom and founded the John Dalton Atomic theory.
-
He said that atoms can be added with "fixed proportions" and is the founder of the word "molecules".
-
He studied "electrolysis" as the splitting of molecules with electricity.
-
He built one of the first cathode ray tubes.
-
He discovered that cathode rays can ttravel in straight lines.
-
He discovered radioactivity from leaving uranium on a plate in a drawer and discovering that it had seeped through the plate.
-
He discovered the electron and is the mind under the Thomson Model .
-
Marie and Pierre both were studying radioactivity and discovered polonium and radium. In the end, they both died from radiation.
-
This model was based on J.J. Thomson's atomic theory. It contained small negatively charged particles.
-
He was the creator of the famous equation E=MC2.
-
He was the first to discover the breakable atom. He did so by doing an experiment with gold foil.
-
He is the mind under the Bohr model where electrons travel in fixed orbits.
-
He was the one to dicover isotopes through a mass spectograph.
-
They built a lithium accelerator that produced alpha particles.
-
He was the one to dicover the neutron through alpha particles.
-
He was the first to do a controlled chain reaction experiment that released energy from the nucleus.
-
Electron particles don't really follow fixed orbits, but can go to any part of the nucleus at some particular time.
