Study Notes
Atomic Structure Theories
- Ancient Greek philosophers proposed the idea of atoms as indivisible fundamental building blocks of matter.
- Dalton's early 19th-century atomic theory also considered the atom as indivisible.
- Rutherford's 1909 model was the first based on experimental evidence.
- Atoms have a tiny, dense nucleus containing protons and neutrons.
- Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels.
- Protons, neutrons, and electrons are known as subatomic particles.
