PLEASE HELP!!! I need info regarding these guys and what they did to help with the discovery of atoms. Please ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!! I am doing an essay and need quite a bit of info.
Here are the guys I need to know about (you can choose one or two to focus on):
Democritus (400BC), John Dalton (early 1800s), J. J. Thomson (1898), Ernest Rutherford (1909), Niels Bohr (1913), Erwin Shrodinger (1930), and James Chadwick (1931).
Here are the main things I need to know:
Were there experiences in his life that led to his interest in science and the study of the atom?
His work on the atom and its contribution to the modern atomic model.
Which contributions are present in the modern atomic model and which were eventually disproven and thus are not part of the modern model.
