Our idea of the atom has changed over time as new experimental evidence and theoretical advances have been made. Early models were based on limited information and as technology improved, we discovered more about the structure of the atom. Each new model built upon the shortcomings of the previous one, leading to our current understanding based on quantum mechanics.
