This summary covers key atomic models including Dalton's, Thomson's, and Rutherford's, explaining the structure and composition of atoms that led to modern atomic theory. Dive into the historical experiments that shaped our understanding of atoms.

Atomic Structure A brief summary
Models of The Atom The Dalton Model (1810) • Atoms are hard spheres( i.e. marbles or grains of sand) Didn’t explain: • how atoms stick together (bonds) • how atoms of each element are different
Models of The Atom The Plum Pudding Model • Proposed by J.J.Thomson (~1897) • Atoms contained negatively-charged particles called corpuscles which were embedded in a sphere of positive charge • Atoms were mostly empty space
Models of The Atom Rutherford Model (aka: nuclear model) ~1911 • The nucleus, which is at the center of the atom, contains protons (positively charged) and all of the atom’s mass • Electrons move around the nucleus.
Rutherford’s experiment (b) Actual results (a) The results that the metal foil experiment would have yielded if the plum pudding model had been correct
