Brief History Of The Atom Flashcards
Responsible for Quantum Mechanics Model of an atom
Schrödinger
Thomson
Designed the “Plum Pudding” model of an atom
Discovered electrons
Thomson
Rutherford
Discovered a positive core called a nucleus
Designed the “Planetary” model of an atom
Bohr
Rutherford
Discovered the atom was mostly empty space
Started atoms are invisible
Dalton
Schrödinger
Stated electrons move in orbitals(clouds of probability)
Believed atoms of an element are identical
Dalton
Bohr
He put electrons in fixed orbits around the nucleus
Democritus
Solid sphere model
Atomos
Dalton
1st atomic theory of matter
Atoms cannot be broken down into small particles
Atoms mostly empty space
Rutherford
Uncertainty principle
Heisenberg
Probability clouds
Schrödinger
