A Chemist Explains the ENTIRE History of Atomic Theory

From Democritus’ “indivisible particles” to the first ever atomic bomb, trace the incredible evolution of atomic theory.

I cover the ancient Greek theory of 'atomism', Dalton's atomic theory, Thomson's discovery of the electron, Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus, Bohr's introduction of quantum theory to atomic structure, Soddy's discovery of isotopes, Moseley's discovery of the proton, Schrödinger's wave model of the electron, Chadwick's discovery of the neutron, and finally, Oppenheimer's work on the atomic bomb.

Learn how centuries of scientific breakthroughs unraveled the secrets of the atom and shaped our understanding of the building blocks of the universe!
