Newton proposed a mechanical universe with small solid masses in motion
-
Proposed an "atomic theory" with spherical solid atoms based upon measurable properties of mass.
-
Studied the effect of electricity on solutions, coined term "electrolysis" as a splitting of molecules with electricity, developed laws of electrolysis. Faraday himself was not a proponent of atomism.
-
Built one of the first gas discharge tubes ("cathode ray tube").
-
Proposed electric and magnetic fields filled the void.
-
Dscovered isotope

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