Historically, John Dalton proposed that atoms were indivisible particles. However, the discovery of subatomic particles changed everything. J.J. Thomson&#8217;s discovery of the electron and subsequent work on the nucleus paved the way for modern quantum mechanics. For NEET aspirants, mastering these models is crucial as they form the bridge between classical physics and modern quantum theory.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"grid-cards\">\n    <div class=\"mini-card\">\n        <span class=\"card-title\">EARLY IDEAS<\/span>\n        <p class=\"card-body\">Dalton&#8217;s theory viewed atoms as solid spheres. Limitations arose when experiments suggested atoms could be split into smaller components.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mini-card\">\n        <span class=\"card-title\">SUBATOMIC DISCOVERY<\/span>\n        <p class=\"card-body\">The electron (discovered by J.J.

Thomson suggested that an atom is a positively charged sphere with electrons embedded in it, much like seeds in a watermelon. While it accounted for the overall neutrality of the atom, it lacked structural precision. In your <strong>Atoms class 12 notes<\/strong>, remember that this model failed because it could not explain the large-angle scattering of alpha particles observed in later experiments.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"callout warning\">\n    <div class=\"pill pill-warning\">WARN<\/div>\n    <div>Thomson&#8217;s model could not provide a physical basis for the arrangement of electrons or the existence of a central nucleus.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"section-header\">\n    <div class=\"badge\">03<\/div>\n    <h2>Rutherford\u2019s Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Ernest Rutherford&#8217;s thin gold foil experiment was a turning point. By bombarding gold foil with alpha particles, he observed that most particles passed straight through, while a tiny fraction was deflected at large angles or even reflected back. This led to the conclusion that the mass of the atom is concentrated in a tiny, dense, positively charged center called the <strong>Nucleus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"grid-cards\">\n    <div class=\"mini-card\">\n        <span class=\"card-title\">OBSERVATION<\/span>\n        <p class=\"card-body\">1 in 8000 particles rebounded.
