What Are The Different Atomic Models? Dalton, Rutherford, Bohr and Heisenberg Models Explained
Atomic Models: Centuries ago, people didn’t know exactly what was inside an atom, but they had some “ideas”. Around 400 BC, a Greek philosopher named Democritus came up with a theory that everything in the world was made of tiny...

Development of Atomic Theory: An Introduction
The atom has come a long, long way! From its early days as a ball of goo that exhibited the same properties as the whole it was part of, to the tiny sphere we know today, atomic theory has truly evolved. Explore these changes with an...

Atomic Rant
Quantum mechanics made the traditional model of the atom obsolete. The episode of the Veritasium playlist explains the location and behavior of an electron in an atom. Scholars learn the different shapes of orbitals electrons occupy.

Bozeman Science: Ap Chemistry: Atomic Models
Paul Andersen explains how the atomic model has changed over time. A model is simply a theoretical construct of phenomenon and so when we receive new data we may have to refine our model. Ionization energy data resulted in the formation...
