Explore the historical development of atomic theory from Dalton’s early 19th-century model to the electron-cloud model of the modern era, highlighting key experiments and models by Thomson and Rutherford. Follow the progression from the basic idea of the atom to the complex understanding of electron behavior and orbital shapes. Discover how each scientist’s findings contributed to shaping our current knowledge of atomic structure.
