- History of the Atom
- Dalton's Theory (1800's); Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms in the same element are identical in size,mass and other properties an vice versa. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created or destroyed. In Chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated or rearranged. Also, he though atoms were solid spheres.
- JJ Thomson's plum pudding theory (1897); Thomson thought that electrons were scattered out through a cloud of positive charge.
- Rutherford's theory of the nuclear atom (1911) ; Rutherford's experiment 'gold and foil' showed that atoms consisted of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. It also showed that the nucleus contained the mass of the atom.
- Bohr further developed Rutherford's nuclear atom model. He used experimental evidence to support the idea that electrons occupy particular orbits or shells. His theory explained atomic structure.
