John Dalton (1803) proposed the billiard ball model of the atom with positively charged particles in a solid sphere. Ernest Rutherford (1911) discovered the nuclear model through gold foil experiments, finding a small, dense nucleus at the center. Niels Bohr (1913) incorporated the planetary model with electrons in energy levels around the nucleus. James Chadwick (1932) discovered the neutron in the nucleus, completing the modern atomic model. Eugene Goldstein discovered protons in 1885. Robert Millikan discovered the charge of an electron in 1910.
