Democritus
BC****
Democritus made the first intial discovery of the atom -
John Dalton
John Dalton purposed the atomic theory. -
JJ Thomson
JJ Thomson figured out that canal rays and found that they have to deal with a positive charge. He also determined the charge to mass ratio of an electron. -
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein came up with the equation e=mc^2. -
Robert Milikan
Robert Milikan did an experiment with oil that determined the charge and the mass of an electron. -
Ernest Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford use atom particles as bulletes. He also said the nucleus was small and positive. -
Niels Bohr
Niels Bohr devolped the atomic structure. He made an orbital structure with balls representing the electrons. -
Louis de Broglie
Louis de Broglie supported Einstein by saying electrons were similar to both particles and waves. -
Wolfgang Pauli
Wolfgang Pauli came up with quatum mechanics. -
Werner Heisenburg
Described atoms by a formula. Came up with the Principle of Indeterminacy. -
Erwin Schrodinger
Erwin Schrodinger said that electrons were clouds with wave mechanics. -
