Scientists Flashcards
Dalton
Atomic theory
Atoms of same element were identical and each element had different atoms
Everything is made from atoms
compounds are made by combining different kinds of atoms
atoms are rearranged in reactions
JJ Thompson
Cathode Ray tubes, discovered the electron and devised the plum pudding model
Rutherford
Gold foil experiment, discovered the nucleus
Chadwick
discovered the neutron and that it held together the nucleus
Heisenburg
Uncertainty theory, position and velocity of a particle can’t be determined.
Schrodinger
came up with the idea of orbitals and the quantum mechanical model which gave the probability of finding an electron.
Bohr
Came up with the planetary model which had energy levels for the electrons. Also came up with the hydrogen emission spectrum, where light was given off when electrons change levels.
