    Democritus was the first to propose that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms in 440 BC. In the early 1900s, scientists like J.J. Thompson, Ernest Rutherford, and Niels Bohr developed atomic models that showed atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons in fixed orbits. Later models by Werner Heisenberg and others incorporated the idea that electrons behave as waves rather than particles and do not travel in neat orbits around the nucleus.

    Timeline

    Democritus 440 BC

    Democritus, Greek Philosopher


    He stated that:
    Elements are made up of tiny, solid particles
    named atomos
    He said that the atoms could not be divided
    Atomos = uncuttable
    Democritus‘ idea was criticized by Aristotle.

    1803 John Dalton


    John Dalton, English Scientist
    He stated that:
    Matter is composed of extremely small particles called
    atoms
    Atoms are indivisible and indestructible
    Atoms have the same size, mass, and chemical properties
    The atoms of a certain element are different from the
    other elements
    Different atom combine in a whole-number ratios to form
    compounds
    In chemical reactions atoms are separate, combine, or
    rearranged

    J. J. Thompson 1896

    J. J. Thompson, English Physicist


    He made a model with small negatively charged
    particles
    They were called electrons
    He said the electrons were evenly embedded throughout
    a positively charged.
    He called it the “Plum - Pudding” model of the atom
    1909 Robert Millikan
    Robert Millikan, American Physicist
    He stated that:
    To measured the charge of an electron use oil droplets

    Ernest Rutherford 1909


    Ernest Rutherford, English Physicist
    He stated that:
    All positive charge of an atom is concentrated in a
    central atomic nucleus that was surrounded by
    electrons.

    1887-1915 Henry Mosely


    Henry Mosely, English Physicist
    He stated that:
    Each element contains a unique number of protons.

    Niels Bohr 1911


    Niels Bohr, Danish Physicist
    He hypothesized that:
    Electrons traveled in fixed orbits.

    1924 Louis de Broglie and Schrödinger


    Louis de Broglie and Schrödinger, French Graduate
    Students
    They said that:
    Electrons can act like particles and waves (like light)
    Electrons occupy orbitals
    They are areas of probability

    Werner Heisenberg 1926


    Werner Heisenberg, German Physicist
    He said that:
    Electrons probably are in a place called orbitas
    Electrons do not travel in neat orbits
