    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure and Models

    • Bohr's atomic model: Focuses on electron arrangement in orbits around the nucleus.
    • Rutherford's discovery: Identified the atomic nucleus and its positive charge.
    • Schrödinger's contribution: Defined regions of high probability for electron location.
    • Democritus: First philosopher to propose the existence of atoms, calling them indivisible.
    • Thomson's discovery: Identified the electron and its negative charge.

    Subatomic Particles

    • Proton: Positively charged subatomic particle.
    • Electron: Negatively charged subatomic particle.
    • Neutron: Subatomic particle with no charge.
    • Nucleus: Center of the atom, containing protons and neutrons.

    Atomic Models and Theories

    • Dalton's atomic theory: Posits that matter is made of indivisible and indestructible atoms.
    • Dalton's atomic theory: Different atoms combine to form compounds.
    • Uncertainty principle: States that a particle's position and momentum cannot both be precisely known.
    • Heisenberg: Developed the uncertainty principle.
