atomic timeline

This was the first model of the atom ever proposed. It was simple and described atoms as tiny spheres that could not be broken down into smaller pieces.

• Democritus's model of the atom
• The "Plum Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• The "Quantum Mechanical Model" of the atom

Discovered the electron using cathode ray tube

• Joseph Thomson
• John Dalton
• Ernest Rutherford
• Robert Millikan

Idea was of an indivisible particle of matter he called "atomos"

• John Dalton
• Aristotle
• Democritus
• Plato

What contribution did John Dalton make to atomic theory? 

• He discovered that every atom was positively charged. 
• He discovered that every element consisted of one type of atom.  
• He discovered that atoms had nuclei. 
• He discovered that atoms could be divided into smaller parts. 

J.J. Thomson provided evidence that an atom...

• is the smallest particle of matter
• contains negatively charged particles
• has an overall negative charge
• has an overall positive charge
