During class

Now that we have started a new unit, we have started learning about new things involving the Atomic Theory and Nuclear Chemistry. Yesterday, one of the new theories we learned about was Dalton's atomic theory, the Law of Constant Composition, as well as experiments conducted by JJ Thompson and Rutherford. I found it very interesting to see who was able to come up with these theories, and the process of how we were able to obtain knowledge on atoms overall. I am looking forward to being able to concrete these theories and applying them also. I found this timeline that was extremely useful to summarize the actions of each individual, and I will be referencing this frequently until i have fully memorized the process.

Here is a video that further explains the models and how the structure of the atom was determined!
