    Democritus

    Everything is composed of atoms, which are physically, not geometrically, invisible. He said that between atoms there is ann open space inbetween.
  • Plato

    Plato

    He believed that the sun, stars, and planets were all made of atoms
  • Alchemisits

    Alchemisits

    They saw matter, as made up of three elements.
  • Robert Boyle

    Robert Boyle

    He proposed that some substances couldnt be broken down any further by chemical method.
  • Lavoisier

    Lavoisier

    He proposed the combustion theory.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    He preformed a number of experiments that led to the acceptance of the atom.
  • Demitri Mendeleev

  • Henry G. J. Mosely

    Henry G. J. Mosely

    He rearenged the atomic table by reararanging by atomic number.
  • Neils Bohr

    Neils Bohr

    He developed an explanation of atomic structure that underlies regularities of the periodic table of elements. His atomic model had atoms built up sucessive orbital shells of electrons.
