    "The Four Elements"

    Aristotle Aristotle believed all matter was made of "The Four Elements".
    1) Fire
    2) Earth
    3) Air
    4) Water He didn't have any proof to support his theory. Although, people still believed and supported him becaue at that time Aristotle was one of the greatest minds.

    Democritus

    Democritus Atomic Theory Democritus come up with the theory stating that matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever, eventually the smallest possible piece would be obtained. This piece would be indivisible. He named the smallest piece of matter “atomos,” meaning “not to be cut.”
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    Dalton's Theory John Dalton proposed an "atomic theory" with sphere shaped, solid atoms based on the properties of mass. 1) All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
    2) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties
    3) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
    4) A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

  • Pierre and Marie Curie

    Pierre and Marie Curie

    The Curies discovered polonium (Po) and Radium (Ra).
  • High Velocity Atom

    High Velocity Atom

    Ritherford proved that atoms of one radioactive element would turn into another, by expelling a piece of the atom at high velocity.
