Determined that most of the atom is empty.

• J,J Thomson

• Democritus

• Rutherford

• Niels Bohr

Worked extensively with cathode ray tubes decipher the structure of the atom

• J.J Thomson

• Democritus

• Rutherford

• Dalton

• Niels Bohr

Coined the word "atom"

• John Dalton

• Democritus

• J.J Thomson

• Niels Bohr

• Rutherford

As an atom is neutral, the number positive charges in the nucleus (the number of protons) must be the same as that electrons.

• Modern atom

• John Dalton

• Niels Bohr

• Rutherford
