| Dalton's Atomic Theory Postulates | |
| Flaws of Dalton's AT | |
| JJ Thomson Plum Pudding Model | |
| Flaws of the Plum Pudding Model | |
| Cathode Ray Tube Experiment significance | |
| Oil Drop Experiment significance | |
| Gold Foil Bombardment Experiment significance | Proved that the Plum Pudding Model was incorrect; most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil, proving that atoms are made of mostly empty space. Atoms ricocheted back because there is a small nucleus in the center of the atom. |
