  • Dalton's Solid Sphere Model

    The solid sphere model was created by John Dalton in 1803. It states that all objects are made up of atoms that are solid spheres, and can't be divided up into smaller particles

  • Thompson's Plum Pudding Model

    The "Plum pudding model" was created right after electrons were discovered, but before the nucleus. The model wanted to explain how electrons are negatively charged particles, and atoms have no net electric charge

  • Rutherford's Nuclear Model

    The nuclear model described the atom as a small, dense, and positively charged core called a nucleus where all mass is concentrated

  • The Bohr Model

    Bohr's proposed his model of the atom to explain how electrons can orbit stably around the nucleus

  • Schrodinger's Quantum Mechanics Model

    Erwin Schrodinger took the Bohr model further by using math to describe the possibility of finding an electron in a certain position,
