JJ Thompson

Rutherford

Answer 14

created theory of atom 1800
introduced idea: all elements are composed of atoms
(indestructible and indivisible)

late 1800 discovered electrons– observing electric current pass through gas. noticing that gas took on electrical charge – knowing that the property of the gas was neutral

improved theory of atomic model
nucleus contained positively charged particles
&electrons outside of it

Question 15

Bohr

Answer 15

atomic model

electrons held in atom orbit via protons
