    The document traces the history of atomic theory from Democritus' idea that matter is made of indivisible atoms, through Dalton's atomic theory of elements composed of unique atoms that cannot be created or destroyed, Thomson's discovery of the electron, and Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom. It then summarizes Bohr's model of electrons orbiting the nucleus in strict energy levels and Schrodinger and Heisenberg's development of quantum mechanics which described electrons as existing in cloud-like probability distributions rather than strict orbits.

    Jj Thompson

    Democritus 400 B.C.


    The smallest indivisible particle of matter is
    called an atom.
    Dalton 1803
    All elements are made of atoms. Each
    element has unique atoms. Atoms cannot be
    created or destroyed. Atoms combine to make
    compounds.

    Thomson 1897
    A negatively charged, subatomic particle
    exists inside of an atom, called an electron.
    Rutherford 1909
    An atom is comprised of 99% empty space.
    The nucleus is a dense, positively charged
    region.
    Bohr 1913
    Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific strict
    orbitals that have separate energy levels.

    Schrodinger and Heisenberg 1927 Electrons


    orbit the nucleus in cloud-like areas rather
    than strict orbitals.
