01 Lesson 1: Early atomic models — Thomson and Rutherford
Scientists made several attempts to understand the structure of the atom.
The main stages were: (1) Thomson's atomic model, (2) Rutherford's atomic model, (3) Bohr's atomic model, and (4) the principles of the modern atomic theory.
Each model explained the known facts of its time and was then improved or replaced when new experiments revealed facts it could not explain.
This is how scientific knowledge grows.
