    The alchemists

    They broke down the four basic elements and figured out their chemical composition. This helped begin the periodic table.
  • Plato
    427 BCE

    Plato

    He introduced the atomic theory. The atomic theory had ideal geometrical forms serve as atoms, then they broke down into triangles which is why the four basic elements all have their own shape.
  • democritus
    400 BCE

    democritus

    Democritus's theory explains that everything is composed of atoms, which are indivisible physically. In between atoms lies open and empty space. Atoms cannot be destroyed and there is an infinite amount of atoms.
  • Aristotle
    384 BCE

    Aristotle

    He did not believe in the atomic theory. In his mind, All the materials on earth weren't made of atoms, instead they were made of the four elements.
  • Solar sytem model
    330 BCE

    Solar sytem model

    It was a model that placed all planets in order. Heraclides developed this model.
  • Robert Boyle

    Robert Boyle

    He helped develop and figure out the definition of the element. He also helped out with "the death" of the four elements and with the way people think about science.
  • Lavoisier

    Lavoisier

    he decomposed red calx into oxygen and mercury. He also found no way to break oxygen levels down into two or more new substances.
  • solid sphere of billiard ball model

    solid sphere of billiard ball model

    It was the first atomic model. John Dalton developed this model. He though that an atom was a solid sphere that was not able to be divided into smaller particles.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    His atomic theory proposed that every bit of matter was composed of atoms. They are indestructible and indivisible building blocks.
  • Dmitri mendeleev

    Dmitri mendeleev

    He discovered that when all known chemical elements are arranged in order by its increasing weight, the results displayed a pattern.
  • J.J thomson

    J.J thomson

    His experiments showed that all atoms contain small negatively charged particles that are subatomic. Thomson also proposed the plum pudding model of the atom.
  • The curies

    The curies

    Pierre and Marie curie discovered some radioactive elements called polonium and radium, They both occur naturally in uranium minerals,
  • "plum pudding" model

    "plum pudding" model

    It shows the atom and a picture of plum pudding. It depicts the electrons as negative particles that are in a group of positive charged electrons.
  • albert einstein

    albert einstein

    He mathematically proved the existence of atoms. He helped revolutionize all of science through the use of probability and statistics.
  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan

    A theory that electricity was conveyed from a minuscule unit, acceptance of the electron was gained. Millikan did great in precisely figuring out the magnitude of the electrons charge.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford

    the gold foil experiment showed what the atom consists of. It is made up of a massive, small, and positively charged nucleus with negatively charged electrons being at a large distance from the the center.
  • Neils bohr

    Neils bohr

    He proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom. It was based on the quantum theory that energy is only transferred in specific well defined quantities. Electrons should be moving around the nucleus while its only in a prescribed orbit.
  • Henry G.J. Mosely

    Henry G.J. Mosely

    He measured and observed the xray spectra that contained various chemical elements using the diffraction in crystals. He discovered a systematic relation that was between atomic number and wave length.
  • Werner heisenberg

    Werner heisenberg

    He formulated quantum mechanics in the terms of matrices and by discovering the uncertainty principle. It states that a particles position and momentum cant be exactly be known.
  • Electron Cloud model

    Electron Cloud model

    Developed by Erwin Schrodinger and Werner heisenberg. This model visualtizes the most probable location of electrons in an atom.
