History of the Atom

Mr. Anderson discusses the history and development of atomic theory, starting with Democritus and Dalton's early ideas, through J. J. Thomson's discovery of the electron, Rutherford's identification of the nucleus, and Bohr's model of atomic structure. The video also covers the evolution of quantum physics with contributions from Schrodinger and Heisenberg, explaining the dual nature of electrons as both particles and waves.
