Atomic Structure Scientists and defintions

Max Born

developed a mathematical quantum mechanical model to describe the atom

Max Plank

Ushered in the age of quantum principles with his work with black body radiators

Milliken

Determined the charge of a single electron using the Oil drop experiment

H. Moseley

Refined the atomic number to represent more than just the place in the periodic table

rutherford

Discovered the nucleus of the atom with the gold foil experiment

Photoelectric effect

Einstein’s Wave- particle duality for light was a noble way to describe this phenomena

J.J Thompson

Discovered mass to charge ratio of a particle that was about 2000 times lighter than H

Robyn Fente

Grammy award winning standing sound wave larynx player

Erwin Shrodinger

Developed a wave equation that produced solutions of quantized electron orbitals

Aufbau

The idea that electrons fill lower energy level first in ground state electron configurations

Pauli

a fundamental law of quantum mechanics that states each electron has a unique set of quantum numbers

Hund

A rule that determines the position of an electron in orbitals of the same sublevel

De Broglie

Theoretically proved that matter like electrons has wave behavior

Bohr

The first to describe an atom with quantum states
