    Study Notes

    Atomic Theory Revisitation

    • Dalton's atomic theory posited that atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
    • The discovery of electrons and protons challenged the idea of indivisibility in atoms.

    Role of Electrons and Protons

    • Electrons and protons are fundamental particles found within atoms.
    • Understanding the arrangement of these particles is essential for a comprehensive atomic model.

    J.J. Thomson's Contribution

    • J.J. Thomson was the first scientist to propose a model of atomic structure.
    • His model marked a significant shift in understanding atomic composition and organization.
