The Evolution of Our Understanding of the Atomic Structure

The video tutorial explores the evolution of atomic theory, starting with the ancient Greek concept of indivisible atoms. It highlights JJ Thompson's discovery of electrons and the plum pudding model. Rutherford's gold foil experiment is discussed, leading to the nuclear model of the atom with a dense nucleus and orbiting electrons. Further developments include the identification of protons and neutrons, and the modern understanding of atomic structure with energy levels.
