Around 400 B.C.E., the Greek philosopher Democritus introduced the idea of the atom as the basic building block matter. He called these pieces "atomos," which means “uncuttable” in Greek. This is where the modern term atom comes from. He taught that there were substances called atoms and that these atoms made up all material things. The atoms were unchangeable, indestructible, and always existed.

John Dalton proposed the following theories: 
1. Matter is made of small indivisible atoms.
2. Atoms can’t be subdivided, created or destroyed.
  • 2.1 Atoms of the same element have the same property.
  • 2.2 Atoms of different elements have different properties. 
3. Atoms of different elements can form compounds.

Thomson (1897) santos136525150012 https://padlet.com/santos136525150012/8ovfktecc06br9f6/wish/1396234938 J.J. Thomson, in full Sir Joseph John Thomson, (born December 18, 1856, Cheetham Hill, near Manchester, England—died August 30, 1940, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire), English physicist who helped revolutionize the knowledge of atomic structure by his discovery of the electron (1897). He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1906 and was knighted in 1908.

The electron was discovered in 1897 by the English physicist J.J. Thomson during investigations of cathode rays. His discovery of electrons, which he initially called corpuscles, played a pivotal role in revolutionizing knowledge of atomic structure.

In 1907, he returned to England and accepted a position as a professor at the University of Manchester. Rutherford then conducted additional experiments, firing alpha particles at foil, and made the ground-breaking discovery that nearly the entire mass of an atom is concentrated in a nucleus. In doing so, he gave birth to the nuclear model, which paved the way for the invention of the atom bomb and marked the beginning of nuclear physics.

He was dubbed the father of the nuclear age and received the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1908.

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom based on quantum theory that energy is transferred only in certain well defined quantities. Electrons should move around the nucleus but only in prescribed orbits. When jumping from one orbit to another with lower energy, a light quantum is emitted.

James Chadwick (1891–1974) in 1932 introduced neutron. He deduced that a neutron is a particle with no electric charge or is “neutral.” So Chadwick refined the Bohr model to include neutrons within the nucleus.

Chadwick discovered that the nucleus also contains neutral particles called neutrons. Soddy demonstrated that atoms of the same element can differ in mass; these are called isotopes.

  • Schrödinger combined the equations for the behavior of waves with the de Broglie equation to generate a mathematical model for the distribution of electrons in an atom.
  • Erwin Schrödinger showed that the quantization of the hydrogen atom’s energy levels that appeared in Niels Bohr’s atomic model could be calculated from the Schrödinger equation, which describes how the wave function of a quantum mechanical system (in this case, a hydrogen atom’s electron) evolves.
  • Schrödinger used mathematical equations to describe the likelihood of finding an electron in a certain position.
