History of the Atom...

Chapter 4 in Chemistry takes us back to the very foundation of our periodic table. Since we will be dealing with elements, and more elements, compounds of these elements in different shapes and forms, including equations, we need to understand how each element is identified. We call this the "fingerprint" of each individual element and that is the atoms that make them up. So here is the history of how the atom was discovered done by Mr. Anderson from Bozeman Science. Be sure to pay close attention to the names and the particular experiments used to discover the tiniest particles of matter.
