This document traces the history of atomic theory from ancient Greek philosophers to modern atomic structure. It discusses early atomic models proposed by Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, and Rutherford. Rutherford's gold foil experiment led him to propose that atoms have a small, dense nucleus. Bohr then refined this model by suggesting electrons orbit the nucleus in set energy levels. The document then explains atomic structure, including atomic number, mass, protons, neutrons, electrons, and electronic configurations. It provides examples of writing electronic configurations and drawing dot-and-cross diagrams to represent elements.
