MAHARISHI KANAD
“When we divided
matter into their
particles, ultimately, we
reach a stage when the
matter CANNOT be
divided further”.

“INDIVISIBLE PARTICLES
come in DIFFERENT
COMBINATIONS to make up
DIFFERENT KINDS OF
MATTER”.

“ If we divide matter continuously, then we reach
a stage where it cannot be divided further”.

PLANETARY
MODEL
- electrons move in circular
orbits within specific energy
levels
Niels Bohr
It is provided by
ELECTROSTATIC
FORCES not gravity.
LOUIS DE BROGLIE
(FRENCH-PHYSICIST)
• Quantum mechanics
– electrons can only exist in
specified energy states
• Discovered neutrons
– neutral particles in the
nucleus of an atom
• Joliot-Curie
Experiments
– based his theory on their
experimental evidence
James Chadwick (1932)
Neutron Model
• revision of Rutherford’s Nuclear Model
