This module will describe the early state of atomic theory, from Thomson’s discovery of the electron through the Rutherford planetary model of the electron.

This module will pick up from AT I to describe the quantum nature of the atom (Bohr model) and its implications for electron structure, position, and bonding.

 AT III (new module)
This module will pick up from AT II to discuss the wave nature of the electron, electron clouds, orbital shapes, Heisenberg Uncertainty, and other topics. This module will be relatively conceptual in nature and should leave mathematical calculations to later modules.

 AT IV (new module)
This model will cover atomic structure and physical properties, including how atomic weight, number, and electron structure affect size, shape, and physical properties of atoms. The module will also include a discussion of isotopes.
