Question

Consider the work of Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr. In your opinion, which was the most important and why? Be sure to state what your selected person discovered and how it contributed to the model of the atom.

(IK THIS ISNT CHEM but theres no comprehensive science)

Answer 1

Rutherford found protons Thompson found electrons and Bohr crewed the Bohr model the most commen model of the atom used today This really a your opinion question but my favor is Bohr

Answer 2

Answer:

(got a 100%, 4/4 points)

I personally think Thompson was most important. He discovered the electron and improved hugely on the atomic model with a positively charged sphere with negative electrons dispersed throughout, and the atom with a neutral charge.  

I think that without him, Rutherford wouldn't have done his gold foil experiment. Since Rutherford discovered the nucleus is positive, Bhor was able to find electrons have energy levels and that wouldn't have happened without Rutherford, who happened because of Thompson.
