  • earnest Rutherford

    earnest Rutherford
    Earnest was the first baron in his family, and was also a New Zeland physicist. In 1909 Earnest demonstrated that atoms were made of charged nucleus orbiting around the electrons.
  • Erwin shrodlinger

    In 1926 Erwin, a Australian physicist used Bohrs atomic model to discover the mathematical equation to find the likely hood that electrons is in a certain position.
  • Warner Heisenburg

    Warner Heisenburg
    Warner Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist and one of the most important quantum mechanics . Based on the quantum theory which was used to interpret the behavior of elementary partials and atoms.
  • Democritus

    Democritus
    Democritus was a Greek philosopher and is know today for his formulation of the atomic theory.
    Democritus created the first atomic model. He helped people understand the idea of an atom, and helped other scientists further look into the science of the atom and its generic makeup.
  • JJ Thompson

    JJ Thompson
    JJ Tomson was a English physicist.
    JJ discovered the electron, and went to propose a model for the structure of the atom. His work led the invention of the mass spectrograph.
  • Niels Bohr
