Scientists use models of atoms to help them visualize and understand the structure and behavior of atoms. Models provide a simplified representation of complex processes, making it easier to study and predict atomic interactions and properties. This helps scientists develop theories and make predictions about the behavior of matter at the atomic level.
If new evidence does not support a scientific theory, scientists will most likely
Some key scientists in the historical development of the atom include Democritus (concept of "atomos"), John Dalton (atomic theory), J.J. Thomson (discovery of the electron), Ernest Rutherford (discovery of the nucleus), and Niels Bohr (Bohr model of the atom). Each of these scientists made significant contributions to our understanding of the atom and its structure.
Before Rutherford, scientists assumed that the atom was a single particle. Rutherford presented his revolutionary, physical atomic model that suggested an atom consists of a central charge (the term 'nucleus' was coined after Rutherford's model was presented) that is surrounded, presumably, by a cloud of orbiting electrons. He showed that most of an atom's mass was located in the atom's nucleus. Rutherford's model was later improved upon by Niels Bohr, father of the Bohr-model. Rutherford made no connection to an element's atomic number and the number of protons within an atom's nucleus; however, his atomic model paved the way for the discovery of this correlation only a couple years after his model was designed.
Some of the key scientists who played a major role in developing the concept of the atom include John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, and Niels Bohr. Dalton proposed the atomic theory, Thomson discovered the electron, Rutherford conducted the famous gold foil experiment leading to the nuclear model of the atom, and Bohr developed the planetary model of the atom.
Erwin Schrodinger invented the model of the atom based on research done by scientists such as Niels Bohr.
they might actually see an atom.

You mean elements? So far scientists have brought out some 109 elements. If you mean atom model, then first Prout's model Then Thomson's, Rutherford's, Bohr's, Sommerfeld's. Finally vector atom model.
the scientist behind the concept of the atom are joseph john thomson,goldstein, and james chadwick!
If new evidence does not support a scientific theory, scientists will most likely
Some well known scientists are Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Born, Bohr, etc.
I think you're referring to JJ Thomson's model. It is more oftenly called the 'plum-pudding model'.
Scientists have split the atom.
they could discover a new atom and it would change
This is the quantic model of atom.
A model of the atom is a 3-D structure of the atom's structure.
Niels Bohr created the Bohr Model of the atom. It was an improvement on previous models (Thompson's Plum Pudding Model, Rutherford's model, etc.) which depicted the atom as a positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons. Niels Bohr was also a member of the team of scientists working on the Manhattan Project.
