rest mass of electron
9.1 x 10-31 kg
positively charged particle
proton
rest mass of proton
1.673 x 10-27 kg
no charge

imaginary pathway to which electron travels
orbital shell
all matter is composed of extremely small particles called atom
daltons model
electron were embedded in a uniform sphere of positive charge like blueberries stuck into a muffin. the positive matter was thought to be jelly-like or a thick soup
j.j Thompson model
the nuclear model of the atom consists of a small and dense positively charged interior surrounded by a cloud of electrons
rutherfords model
