| Law of Conservation of Mass | the mass before = the mass after |
| Law of Definite Proportions | atoms combine in whole ratios |
| Law of Multiple Proportions | atoms can combine in many different ways |
| J.J. Thomson [American] | he discovered electrons "Plum Pudding Model" |
| Ernest Rutherford [Kiwi] | the majority of an atom is empty space but in the centre there is a positively charged very dense nucleus -discovered the nucleus |
| Neils Bohr [Danish] | each orbit holds few electrons electrons can jump between orbits - go up but want to come back down further the electron, the more energy it has the frequency of lights is given off depending on which shell it came from |
