The first model of the atom was developed by JJ Thomson in 1904, who thought that atoms were composed purely of negatively charged electrons. In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom where the electrons were contained within quantized shells that orbited the nucleus.

Because no body can do all the work alone so there are many things to do.... Many experiments.... data collections... Knowledge sharing.
