Democritus
Democritus believed that between the atoms there was an empty space, also that atoms were and always be in movement and that they are indestructible and that there are an infinite number, kinds, shapes and sizes of atoms. So he drew just a circle and that was his way to represent an atom

John Dalton
John Dalton said that all matter/things were composed of atoms he was the one to come up with the name Atoms. This was like the theory of Democritus. So his model was just a circle

Joseph John Thomson
Joseph John Thompson he was the one to discover the electrons and to realize that they were negative. Then he came up with the plum pudding model where the pudding was the positive and the raisins were the negative electrons. He did say that the atoms had a nucleus but the didn´t represent it on the model.

Ernest Rutherford
Ernest R. model was called a nuclear atom or planetary model of the atom. He was the one to discover the protons and include in his model. He stated that in the center there was the nucleus (neutral) was like the sun. The electrons (negative)and protons (positive) revolved around the atom like the plants in an orbit around the nucleus -
Niels Böhr
Niels Böhr stated that in the center of the atom there was a nucleus then there was the electron orbit were the electrons laid there. he said that the atoms were composed of hydrogen and discovered that when the electrons jumped from one electron orbit to another to be closer to the nucleus the atom would lose power. -
Erwin Schrödinger
Erwin Schrödinger model was a little cloud were the electrons were floating around and the atom was in the middle. As the site says "model does not define the exact path of an electron, but rather, predicts the odds of the location of the electron."

Werner Heisenberg
Werner Heisenberg said was that this was impossible to measure or "guess" where the electron was going to appear. He invented what we know as the uncertainty principle. Keith Russell. (August 10, 2018). -
James Chadwick
Chadwick stated that the nucleus was composed of protons and what was his discovery the protons and that the nucleus was in the center. Around the nucleus there were the orbits and in the orbits there were electrons
