If you cut a piece of bread in half, eventually you will get to a point where it cant be cut
It all starts with a Greek philosopher, Named Democritus
DID I ASK?
Nothing Much happened until the 1800s when John Dalton expanded upon the atomos theory
What are their properties then?
I believe that all matter is made out of small particles, I like to call "Atoms"
I imagine that they are solid, impenetrable and indivisible
in a lab 30 years later, Micheal Faraday makes a discovery using electrodes
There must be an electrical component to this atom because one of these elements accumulated on one of the electrodes, while the other one deposited on the opposite electrode
1904
what does it look like?
I imagine it is some negative charge in a blob of positive charge, like plums in a plum pudding
Using these cathode ray tubes, I have found out that these atoms have negatively charged particles
But Thomsons theory wasnt perfect, and Ernest rutherford made a discovery that changes the Plum pudding theory
it appears that the Positive charge is concentrated in the center of the atom like a nucleus, not as a blob
And with these 2 theories, our Modern theory is created
There seems to be a neutral charge with the same mass as the protons!
Ill call it, the Planetary Model due to the electrons orbit
Using a gold foil, It appears that the electrons orbit around the densely packed nucleus
