This model was the first time that scientists started believing that everything is made up of microscopic building blocks. This model showed that the atom was a hard uniform object and could be of different sizes. Democritus found that this was true by observing that everything is made up of smaller counterparts. The limitations of this model were that it did not have a lot of components and did not explain many of the scientific phenomena, however this was the start to a long journey of discovery.

Dalton has said that elements consist of small particles which are called atoms. He had also believed that all atoms of the same element are identical and that different elements have different atoms. He has also found that atoms can neither be created nor destroyed. This model was a stepping stone to the understanding that everything is made up of atoms.

This model was created 100 years after the Dalton model. Here Thompson has made a connection of an atom to plumb pudding. He found that all atoms have negatively and positively charged subatomic particles or electrons. He found this when doing an experiment with a cathode ray tube. He found that the rays would bend upwards meaning that they were positively charged. This shows that the atoms was made up of more, subatomic particles. However, this model did not show how these electrons moved.

In this model, Rutherford discovered that the atom has a small, positively charged nucleus with the electrons being at a great distance from the center. He made this discovery by conducting an experiment with a gold foil and a beam of light. He noticed that some of the light would go right through (meaning that the atom had some empty space between the electrons) but some would bounce back. This means that the positively charged atoms were bouncing off something which he called the nucleus. This was a huge step and showed what the atom really is made of.

In this model, Bohr said that the atom has a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons with electrons orbiting at specific distances from the nucleus. This model showed that there were a lot more elements which go into an atom.

In this model by Schrodinger, you can see that the atom has electrons which do not follow sharply defined orbits (like in Bohr's model) but rather found in orbitals. Depending on the electron, it's location will be different. This model was the most advanced and found a lot of elements which are involved in an atom.
