| Atomic Structure Timeline | ||
| From "atoms and void" of the ancient Greeks to atomic energy in the 1940s, the researchers listed on this web site contributed to our knowledge of the basic structure of matter. Although somewhat advanced, it's a good start for Internet-based research on atomic theory. ( http://www.watertown.k12.wi.us/hs/teachers/buescher/atomtime.asp ) | ||

| Chronology of Atomic Theory | ||
| Another good starting point for researching the history of atomic theory, this site was developed with post-secondary students in mind. Some of the information is rather advanced, but you will find excellent illustrated sections on atomic theories and atomic models. ( http://www.3rd1000.com/chronoatoms.htm ) | ||
