Atomic Structure

The document discusses the historical development of atomic theory, highlighting key experiments and discoveries related to subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. It covers the contributions of scientists like John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, and Ernest Rutherford, detailing their findings on the structure and behavior of atoms. Additionally, it introduces models of the atom, including Thomson's 'plum pudding' model and Rutherford's nuclear model, leading to the later development of Bohr's theory.
