Discovering Atoms: The Building Blocks of Matter and Their Structure

This educational overview explores the development of atomic theory, starting from Democritus's idea of atoms to Dalton's recognition of various types of atoms, exemplified by gold and iron. It highlights Thomson's discovery of the electron, Rutherford's identification of the proton, and Bohr's model of atomic structure, which resembles our solar system. Additionally, it explains that different electron orbitals possess unique energy levels and that atoms can form compounds, such as water, which consists of hydrogen and oxygen.
