How is the modern atomic theory different from Daltons atomic theory?
In Dalton's theory the electrons in the atom travel in a one layered orbital rotation around the nucleus, in the modern, or electron cloud, theory the electrons travel in a more radical patterned movement while still staying in their respected energy levels.
According to modern atomic theory it is nearly impossible to determine an electrons exact?
Location and momentum. You can determine either, but not both.
What did the scientist who developed the modern theory of atomic structure base his theories off of?
Discovery of electron, proton and the neutron are fundamental for the theory of atomic structure.For this structure physicisits work from about 140 years and the research still continue.

Compare the position of the electrons in bohr's model of the atom with their positions according to modern atomic theory?
The Bohr atom imagined that electrons orbit the nucleus in much the same way that planets orbit the sun. The modern atomic model has electrons in the form of a cloud that surrounds the nucleus without actually moving in orbit around it. Moving electrons would have to emit photons, lose energy, and spiral into the nucleus, thus destroying the atom. They don't really orbit.
Who was the first to state the concept o a atom?
