    The document outlines the timeline of key discoveries in atomic theory: - Democritus coined the term "atom" to describe indivisible particles in the 5th-4th centuries BCE, though he could not prove his theory. - J.J. Thompson discovered electrons within atoms in 1897 and that they are much smaller than atoms. He proposed the "plum pudding" atomic model. - In 1913, Niels Bohr suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed orbits, which became the accepted atomic model. - James Chadwick discovered neutrons in the nucleus in 1932, completing the nuclear model of the atom.
