John Dalton
John Dalton (although suffering from deuteroanopia) proposed what is called the "Billiard-ball" model. The billiard-ball model depicts atoms as the smallest form of matter, with diferent atoms having different sizes.

electrolysis
In 1800 the first traces of hydrolysis were found when William Nicholson and Johann Ritter seemed to accidentally stumble upon it. Special Thanks to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis -
Mandeleev's Periodic Table
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev published a catagorization of the known elements of the time into a chart. Special Thanks to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table -
J.J. Thompson
J.J. Thompson propesed this model before the discovery of the nucleus. Alternatively called the "Plum pudding" model. The plum pudding model shows a positively charged cloud that holds all of the electrons in it, making a neutrally charged atom as a whole.

Ernest Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford created a new atom model to disprove J.J. Thompson's model. This model differs from the plum-pudding model by having a positevely charged nucleus, but other than that, it doesn't really explain how electrons behave. Special Thanks to:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_model -
Isotopes
Isotopes were suggested as a possibility in 1912 by Frederick Soddy. Special Thanks to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope -
Niels Bohr
Niels Bohr introduced a new atom model in 1913. Along with the new model, there were many new equations dealing with energy-levels and whatnot. The model shows a nucleus with electrons orbiting in shells with varying energy levels. Special Thanks to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model -
Nuclear Fission
In 1938 Nuclear Fission was discovered by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann. Special Thanks to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fission#History -
Nuclear Fussion
Nuclear fusion was first tested in 2009 Special Thanks to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fussion
