Atomic Theory Timeline-Brittnie Wratchford & Alicia Casner

  • Aristotle

    Aristotle
    Developed a theory that matter consisted of water, fire, earth and fire. He thought that no matter how many times you cut a form of matter in half, you would always have a smaller piece of that matter. (The date was very long ago around 315 BC and too old to put on the timeline. Thats why the date is 1800)
  • Joseph Proust

    Joseph Proust
    Found that hygrogen is the lightest element. Thought that everything. He found that its mass number equiled one.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford

  • Louis de Broglie

    Louis de Broglie
    This is when he discovered the formula that is for the wave length of an electron moving.
  • Louis de Broglie

    Louis de Broglie
    He suggested that there is a wave connected with the moving of an electron. The formula is the picture.
  • Werner Heisenberg

    Werner Heisenberg
    He created a theory called the matrix mechanics, another form of quantum mechanics. This is the modern atomic theory.
  • Max Planck

    Max Planck
    Made discovery of x-rays. The formula for this is .5x10^-8. He worked with Albert Einstein.
