    This document summarizes the key contributors to the development of the atomic theory and their important discoveries: - Leucippus and Democritus in the 5th century BC proposed the earliest atomic theory that matter is composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. - In the 1800s, John Dalton proposed atoms as discrete units and proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass. Joseph John Thompson discovered the electron through cathode ray experiments. - Ernest Rutherford through his gold foil experiment discovered that atoms are mostly empty space with a small, dense positively charged nucleus, consisting of protons. Niels Bohr then incorporated electrons into orbits around the atomic nucleus. - Werner Heisenberg in 1925 proposed the uncertainty

    PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE ATOMIC THEORY

    CONTRIBUTORS YEAR DISCOVERIES/FINDINGS


    Developed the theory of Atomism; matter is
    Leucippus composed of tiny particles; Named these
    482 B.C. particles as “A Tomos” meaning uncuttable or
    indivisible.
    Democritus Pupil of Leucippus; contributed the theory
    with his mentor
    Proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass;
    Antoine Lavoisier 1774 either matter change its shape or form, its
    mass stays the same
    John Dalton English physicist and chemist; elements exist
    1803 as discreet packets of atoms
    Eugen Goldstein German physicist; discovered that cathode ray
    1886 tubes emit light from the positive
    Able to estimate the mass of rays; concluded
    the cathode rays weren’t rays at all but rather
    Joseph John Thompson 1897 very light and very small negatively charged
    particles they called “corpuslces”; used the
    plum pudding model
    Designed an experiment involving a thin
    sheet of gold foil and screen coated with zinc
    Earnest Rutherford 1909 sulfide; concluded that most of the atoms are
    empty spaced; also discovered that protons
    (positively charged particles)
    Niels Henrik David Bohr 1911 Discovered the arrangements of electrons
    inside the atoms; used the planetary model
    - Discovered that it is impossible to know
    which certainty of the momentum of the
    electron or any subatomic particle and its
    Werner Karl Heisenberg 1925 exact position.
    - Proposed the Quantum Theory; electrons
    weren’t particles or waves instead they have
    both or neither; arrangement could be
    described as in terms of probability.
    - Used the Quantum Model also known as the
    cloud model
