Atomic History Worksheet

The document summarizes the major contributors to the development of atomic structure models from Democritus in 400 BC to the development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century. It lists the scientists and their years of contribution alongside the atomic models they used or developed, including logical bits of matter, solid spheres, plum pudding, nuclear, Bohr, and quantum mechanics models. The document then asks the reader to use this information to identify which scientist was responsible for 11 specific contributions to understanding atomic structure, such as discovering the nucleus or charge of the electron.
