1.Dalton's Atomic Theory
-All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
-All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties
-Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
-A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms
2.Plum Pudding
-An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electron embedded in it,
-The positive and the negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, due to which an atom is electrically neutral. It has no over all negative or positive charge.
3.
-Protons in the nucleus and the electrons orbited around the nucleus.
4.
-Electrons orbit the nucleus in orbits that have a set size and energy
-The energy of the orbit is related to its size. The lowest energy is found in the smallest orbit
-Radiation is absorbed or emitted when an electron moves from one orbit to another.
