    The document discusses the development of atomic models and the scientists involved. Democritus in 400 BC first proposed that matter is made up of small indivisible particles called atoms. John Dalton's 1804 atomic theory stated that atoms are indivisible, indestructible units that do not change during chemical reactions and atoms of the same element have the same properties. Joseph John Thompson's cathode ray experiments in the late 1800s showed that atoms contain negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons, leading to his "plum pudding" atomic model of electrons embedded in a positive sphere.

    ATOMIC MODEL AND THEIR SCIENTIST

    DEMOCRITUS (400 BC) - Atomos (matter is discontinuous, it is made up of small particles.

    John Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1804)


    - Atoms are indivisible and indestructible. They do not change during chemical reactions.
    - Atoms of a given element have exactly the same properties, but atoms of different
    elements have different properties.

    Joseph John Thompson (1879-1897)


    - Cathode Ray Experiment: made up of negative particles called electrons. Electrons are
    present in all kinds of matter. Protons are positive particles emanating from behind the
    cathode.
    - Plum pudding model: an atom is a positive ball of electricity with negative electrons
    embedded.
