Question

How has the work of various scientists helped us understand and create the current model of the atom?

Answer 1

Because no body can do all the work alone so there are many things to do.... Many experiments.... data collections... Knowledge sharing.

Answer 2

The first model of the atom was developed by JJ Thomson in 1904, who thought that atoms were composed purely of negatively charged electrons. In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom where the electrons were contained within quantized shells that orbited the nucleus.
