Atomic Theory Timeline: Democritus John Dalton Michael Faraday J. J. Thomson Robert Millikan Ernest Rutherford

This document provides a timeline of important discoveries and theories in atomic theory from Democritus in 450 BC to Louis de Broglie and Schrödinger in 1924. It summarizes key contributions such as Dalton's atomic theory of atoms as indivisible particles in 1803, Faraday's discovery of the relationship between atoms and electricity in 1839, Thomson's discovery of the electron in 1897, Rutherford's nuclear theory in 1909, Bohr's model of electron orbits in 1913, and the development of wave mechanics and quantum theory in the 1920s.
