The atomic model went through more identity crises than a teenager with Instagram. First Dalton was like "atoms are solid balls" (1803). Then Thomson crashed the party with "actually they're plum puddings with electrons" (1897). Rutherford showed up and said "nah, it's a nucleus with orbiting electrons" (1911). Bohr strutted in with "electrons only orbit at specific energy levels" (1913). And just when everyone thought they had it figured out, quantum mechanics barged in screaming "ELECTRONS ARE PROBABILITY CLOUDS!" Scientists basically reinvented the atom every 5 years like it was the iPhone. No wonder the poor atom has trust issues.
