USE THE CHOICES TO FILL UP YOUR TABLES.

MAIN IDEA/ THEORY EXPERIMENT DESCRIPTION NAME OF MODEL

1. Discovered the neuron and measured its mass HAD NO ATOMIC MODEL
2. Experimented with cathode rays and QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL
discovered x-rays
3. He used mathematical equations to describe BOHR’S ATOMIC MODEL
the like hood of finding an electron in a certain
position.
4. A neutral atom is made up of an equal number HAD NO ATOMIC MODEL
of positive and negative particles.
5. Had cathode rays studies fundamental in PLANETARY MODEL OF THE ATOM
atomic physics.
6. Atoms are made up of discontinuous indivisible ELETRON
spheres.
7. The nucleus of an atom is extremely small and PLUM-PUDDING MODEL or RAISIN BREAD MODEL
is positively charged. The rest of the atom is
mostly empty space and it contains electrons.
8. All matter is composed of small indivisible DALTON’s MODEL BILLIARD MODEL
objects.
9. Electrons can only occupy certain energy levels GREEK MODEL OF AN ATOM
around the positive nucleus.

TAKE NOTE: THE SKETCH OF THE MODELS ARE FOUND IN THE INTERNET, PLEASE DRAW IT BEFORE YOU
RETURN TO YOUR GROUP.

WILLIAM ROENTGEN AND JAMES CHADWICK DOESN’T HAVE A SKETCH OF THEIR MODEL.
