31: What's Inside
Ernest Rutherford discovered the basic structure of the atom. Then Max von Laue suggested diffracting x rays through crystalline layers and showed that atoms have a particular arrangement in crystals. Henry Moseley found a relationship between scattered x rays off elements and the positive charge in their nucleus, thus explaining the Periodic Table. Then Max Plank upended science with his "quantum theory". Niels Bohr used quantum theory to posit electron levels in atoms.
