Atomic Model Evolution

The document outlines the development of atomic models from 1803 to 1926. It describes Dalton's 1803 Billiard Ball Model, Thompson's 1904 Plum Pudding Model, Rutherford's 1911 discovery of the atomic nucleus, Bohr's 1913 model of electrons in fixed orbits around the nucleus, and Schrodinger's 1926 Electron Cloud Model which depicted electrons as occupying regions of space around the nucleus.

Atomic Model Timeline

Direction: Construct a time of atomic model by completing the table with the items below

Proponents Year - Name of Model Description


1. Dalton 1803
Billiard Model

Dalton proposes the


indivisible unit of an
element is the atom.

2. Thompson 1904
Plum Pudding Model

Thompson discovered
electrons, believed to
reside within a sphere of
uniform positive charge
(the plum pudding model).
3. Rutherford 1911
Rutherford Model

Rutherford demonstrates
the existence of a
positively charged nucleus
that contains nearly all the
mass of an atom.

4. Bohr 1913
Bohr Model

Bohr proposes fixed


circular orbits around the
nucleus for electrons.

5. Schrodinger 1926
Electron Cloud Model

In the current model of the


atom, electrons occupy
regions of space (orbitals)
Around the nucleus is
determined by their
energies.
