Around 400 B.C.E.
Democritus believed that atoms were uniform, solid, hard, incompressible, and indestructible and that they moved in infinite numbers through empty space until stopped.

Thomson was the discover of the electron and then went on to propose a model for the structure of the atom in the year 1897.

Germany 1927
He contribute in the atomic theory by formulating quantum mechanics and he also discover the the uncertainty principle:“The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.”

Niels Bohr

1913
Niels Bohr proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom, based on quantum theory that some physical quantities only take discrete values.

Ernest Rutherford

He demonstrated that there were at least two distinct types of radiation: alpha radiation and beta radiation. He discovered that radioactive preparations gave rise to the formation of gases in the year 1899.

1932
This atomic model is known as the quantum mechanical model of the atom. Chadwick interpreted this as being composed of particles with a neutral electrical charge and the approximate mass of a proton.

Austria 1926
Erwin formulate a wave equation that accurately calculated the energy levels of electrons in atoms, which treats electrons as matter waves.
