- However, John Dalton's theory did not account for static electricity, until a scientist named Micheal Faraday showed that atoms could gain electric charges.

- But there was still more to discover about the atom. This was proven by JJ Thomson, when he discovered electrons in 1897.
- Another physicist named Ernest Rutherford discovered that electrons orbited around a nucleus in the centre of an atom in 1911.
- In 1913, a scientist named Niels Bohr claimed that electrons had specific orbits based on a certain amount of energy.
- And this leaves us with our model of the atom today!
- Suddenly, in 1932, a scientist named James Chadwick discovered that the nucleus of an atom didn't just consist of protons, but a neutrally charged particle called a neutron.
