4 – ??
5 – 
Cracked by: nisha’s thambi , VikraM , iamniks , Gammafunction , Tathagata Chatterjee , sidsen , deepak , Abhishek , alephnull , bobo , yaksha , prasanth , udupendra, and Keerthi Kiran M.
bobo, sidsen, Gammafunction and nisha’s thambi got the theme! 1 point for the answer + 2 points for the theme added to their totals :-)
Answer:
Models of the atom and how they evolved through the years:
1) John Dalton’s atomic theory
2) JJ Thompson’s plum-pudding model of the atom
3) Rutherfords model of the atom, from the gold-sheet experiment
4) Bohr’s model of the atom (discrete electron orbits!)
5) Current model of the atom with the concept of electron clouds around a nucleus, based on Heisenberg’s theories.
The answer: Bohr’s model of the atom.

is this the progression to the electron cloud model?
dalton-> thompson -> rutherford -> NEILS BOHR -> shrodinger

heisenbug, bohrbug, mandelbug so far

evidently its something in between bohr’s model and the current quantum mechanical model of the atom…..so maybe the Sommerfield Model ? with all the elliptical orbits etc.
Hisenberg, Mandelbrot, Sommerfeld ! I dunno,,,,,,,interesting theme

Bohr’s atomic model

4. is the Rutherford model of the atom

MODEL OF AN ATOM
John Dalton’s model ->rasin in pudding model ->
Rutherford atomic model -> Bohr- Sommerfeld model of the atom -> Schrödinger’s atom as wave model -> and now electron cloud model based on heisenberg’s principle.
… therefore i think 4 includes bohr-sommerfeld model and Schrödinger’s model of an atom

is the theme-UNUSUAL SOFTWARE BUGS?

4. is the Bohr model not Rutherford model and 5. is the electron cloud quantum model

1. John Dalton’s elements
2. JJ Thomson’s Atomic Model
3. Rutherford’s Model
4. Should be Bohr’s Model
5. schrodinger’s Model

My second guess for the theme is non-linear dynamic models.

Theme guess: Scientists with Asteroids named after them. Holds good for the three so far, at least.
