Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Dalton believed that the atom is indivisible, which was proven incorrect by Thompson’s discovery of the electron and his “Plum Pudding” model of the atom. Thomson’s model was refined after Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles and proved that most of the atom is empty space, and almost all of atom’s mass lies in the center of the atom, the nucleus which is positively charged. Bohr further refined the atomic model and stated that electrons orbit around the nucleus in discrete orbits with quantized energy making the atom very stable and allowing the electrons not to spin and crash into the nucleus. Heisenberg attributed electrons with wave like properties and gave the quantum, mechanical model of the atom where electron clouds exists with a electron no longer behaving as particles with definite position but there is a probability of finding the electrons in space.
