    Democritus

    Democritus
    (B.C) "Nothing can change into somebthing absolutely different" He first came up with the word "atom" and that they had masses. No atom could be identical and all of them had different shapes and sizes.

  • Isaac Newton

    Isaac Newton
    Proposed a mechanical universe with small solid masses in motion.
  • North Carolina

    North Carolina
    North Carolina seperates from South Carolina and gains its own Govenor
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    discovered the law of partial pressures, and the law of stoichiometry. he had the first opinion that atoms of different elements had different masses, which then liad the foundation of the modern study of atoms.
  • Lavoisier

    Lavoisier
    He provided the formula for the conservation of matter in chemical reactions, and also distinguished between an element and a compound.
  • Joseph Proust

    Joseph Proust
    Proust proposed the law of constant composition, which states that a compound always has the same element in the proportion by mass.
  • Washington D.C

    Washington D.C
    D.C. becomes U.S capital
  • J.J Thompson

    J.J Thompson
    He was the Father of electrons and discovered isotopes as well but also invented the Mass Spectrometer.
  • Railroad

    Railroad
    Continental Railroad was finished in Utah
  • W.K. Roentgen

    W.K. Roentgen
    He discovered x-rays while experimenting with cathode-ray tubes.
  • Henri Becquerel

    Henri Becquerel
    He was one of the first scientists to describe radiation with x-rays and uranium and than while studying the effect of x-rays on photographic Film he discovered some chemicals spontaneously decomposing and giveing off very pentrating rays.
  • Thomson's Plum Pudding

    Thomson's Plum Pudding
  • Max Planck

    Max Planck
    Known as one of the Founders of the Quantum Theory and developed it into a universal constant (known as Planck's Constant) where E=f*h and where h= 6.63*10E-34 Js.
  • Erwin Schrödinger

    Erwin Schrödinger
    He is the father of Quantum Mechanics but also can up with the Schrodinger eqation for Phisics.
  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan
    He determined the atomic stru cture of electricity by accurately determining that electrons were negatively charged and that the charge was consistant for all electrons.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    Rutherford discovered a central positive nucleus that was surrounded by negatively charged electrons that were orbiting the nucleus. His model suggested that most5 of the mass was contained in the nucleus and the rest of the area surrounding it was mostyly empty space.

  • Louis de Brogile

    Louis de Brogile
    Brogile showed that every object is associated with a wave and he found that small electrons where easiestly observably associated with waves.
  • Werner Heisenberg

    Werner Heisenberg
    Made major contributions to Quantun Mechanics and asserted the uncertainty principle of Quantum Theory.
  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    Proved the Atomic nucleus contained a neutral particle, discovering the neutron,
  • Glenn Seaborg

    Glenn Seaborg
    Synthesized 6 transuranium elements and suggested a change in the layout of the periodic table
  • "I have a Dream"

    "I have a Dream"
    Martin Luther King made his speech "I have a Dream"
  • Bohr Model

    Bohr Model
  • Niels Bohr

    Niels Bohr
    Bohr model of the atom, theory that electrons travel in orbits around the nucleus of an atom.
  • Quantum Mechanical Model

    Quantum Mechanical Model
  • Aristotle

    Aristotle
    (B.C) Considered that there where four basic characteristics to a substance: Wettness, dryness, heat, and cold. He stated that the world couldn't be made of invisible particles becuase gravity would pull them down.
