John Dalton's representation of the atom
J.J. Thomson
Discovered the electron, the first subatomic particle
J.J. Thomsons Model of the Atom:
Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.
Ernest Rutherford's model of the atom is a nucleus of protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting it.
Niels Bohr
"Energy levels of electrons are discrete, and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus."
Modern Electron Theory:
Made by Erwin Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg
The Electron Cloud is where electrons are when they rotate around the nucleus of an atom.
