    Democritus

    Hypothesized atoms can not be destroyed, differ in size, shape and temperature, are always moving and are invisible.
  • Henri Becquerel
    Jan 1, 1093

    Henri Becquerel

    Along with MArie and Pierre Curie he also had discovery with radioactvity.
    he helped understanding of how dangerous radioactivity can actually be.
  • Antoine Lavoisier

    Antoine Lavoisier

    Law of Conservstion
    Matter can not be created or destroyed
  • MIchael Faraday

    MIchael Faraday

    Contributed to electromagnetism and electrochemistry
    Discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis.
  • Joseph Louis Proust

    Joseph Louis Proust

    Law of Definite Proportions
    a compound is composed of exact proportion of elements by mass regardless of how the compound was formed.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    Atomic Theory
    all matter is made up of atoms
  • Marie and Pierre Curie

    Marie and Pierre Curie

    They are best know for their discovery of radioactivity. They discovered the elements radium and polonium.
    They were married and became invested in their discovery
    Without this discovery we would not have known how dangerous an unstable atom could really be.
  • J.J Thomson

    J.J Thomson

    Suggested a model of the atomas a sphere of postive matter in which electrons are positioned by electrostatic forces.
  • Robert Milikan

    Robert Milikan

    He measured the charge of an electron using Milikan's oil-drop apparatus
    -without it we would not know until much later that an elctrons charge was negative.
  • Niels Bohr

    Niels Bohr

    An atom is a small positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbitting electrons.
    We would never know that the nucleus was postively charged without this discovery
  • Albert Einstein

    Albert Einstein

    Albert has done so many things for science but he impproved the fundamental statistical theory of heat
    quantum of energy
    LASER light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
  • Louis DeBroglie

    Louis DeBroglie

    His ideas were the basis for the wave mechanics theory. realized electrons can act like particles and waves.
    we ould not have the wave mechanics theory without Louis DeBroglie.
  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick

    discovered the neutron
    without the neutron discovery we would not know that the neutrons is paired with protons in the nucleus and that it is neutral.
  • Max Planck

    Max Planck

    Originated the Quantum Theory
    we use the Quantum Theory now in the 2014 without his discovery we would not understand the theory of matter.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford

    He postulated the nuclear structure of the atom.
    gold foil experiment
  • Otto Hahn

    Otto Hahn

    pioneer in radioactivity and radiochemistry.
  • Lisa Meitner

    Lisa Meitner

    discovered nuclear fission
  • Glen T Seaborg

    Glen T Seaborg

    known for the discovery and investigation of ten transuranium elements
    without him we would not know what they are.
  • Erwin Schrodinger

    Erwin Schrodinger

    He delveloped a number of fundamental results in the field of Quantum Theory. Also his thoughts became the basis or the wave mechanics theory.
    we use the quantum theory and are taught about it in science classes without him and his intelligent thoughts we would not have the theorys and proof we have today.
  • aristotle

    aristotle

    He believed all substances were made out of fire, water, air and earth. Later he was proved wrong.
