what did jj thompson propose and in what year
in 1897, dalton Discovered the electron, and thought that atoms are spheres of mpositive charge with tiny negative electrons stuck in them, known as the plum pudding model.
what did rutherfood propse and in what year
in 1908, rutherfood discovered the nucleus, which is positively charged and where most of the mass is concentrated.
what did bohr propose and in what year
in 1913, bohr “Electrons orbit the nucleus at different energy levels.”
what did chadwick and in what year
in 1932, chadwick discovered the neutron
Jj Thompson created the plum pudding model what was it ?
He discovered the electron. Compared to a plum pudding. Discovered the electron, and thought that atoms are spheres of positive charge with tiny negative electrons stuck in them, known as the plum pudding model.Ball of
positive charge with negative electrons in it (the pudding)
Rutherford discoverd tje nucleus what happened in the experiment
what were the three observation of rutherfoods experiment
- most alpha particcles go straight through
2.a few alpha particles deflected through a large angle # - a small number of particles deflected
what were the reasos for those observationd
3..therfore the nucleus must be very small
1.therefore most of the atoms are empty space
2.
