Democritus

Void
He told that matter is made up of different amount of elements (Earth, Fire, Air, and Wind)
Aristotle
He proposed the first atomic theory and that atom is a solid sphere or billiard ball
John Dalton
It is called ______ with same elements but with different masses.
Isotopes
He discovered electrons
J J Thomson
Proposed the Raisin Bun/Plum pudding model
J J Thomson
He discovered the atoms are made up of even smaller particles called subatomic particles. Proposing the existence of positively charged particles.
J J Thomson
He proposed Cathode Ray Tube Experiment(electricity enters cathode (negative charge; anode = positive) to produce beam)
J J Thomson
He discovered protons and the nucleus
Ernest Rutherford
He proposed the gold foil experiment(beam did not hit the center/deflected to the other direction instead of going in a straight way)
Ernest Rutherford
Proposed the planetary model
Niels Bohr
Improved Rutherford’s Model
Niels Bohr
He discovered electrons move around the nucleus in specific layers/shells (organized in orbits)
Niels Bohr
He discovered neutrons
James Chadwick
6 protons + 6 neutrons =?
6 particles, since neutrons has 0 charges.
He proposed the nuclear model
Ernest Rutherford
He proposed the quantum mechanical model(electron cloud) or the modern atomic model.
Erwin Schrodinger
