    Law of definate proportions- regardless of amoutn, a compund is always composed of the same elements in the same proportions by mass
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    4 Parts to his theory 1) Everything is made of matter, Atoms are indestructable and indivisable. 2) Atoms that make up the same element are the same in mass and properties. 3) Compounds are formed by two or more elements combined. 4) "A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms"

  • Abraham Lincoln Assassination

  • J.J. Thomson

    J.J. Thomson

    Determined the charge-to-mass ratio of the charged particle. He concluded that the mass of the charged particle was much less than a hydrogen atom. Which was the lightest at that time. Which he then discovered the electron, which is smaller than the atom
  • Henri Becquerel

  • Max Planck

    Max Planck

    Quantom Theory
  • Madame Curie

    Madame Curie

    She deduced that the radioactivity does not depend on how atoms are arranged into molecules, but rather that it originates within the atoms themselves.
  • Albert Einstein

    Albert Einstein

    Theory of Relativity- The laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, adn that the speed of light in a cacuum was the independent of the motion of all observers.
  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan

    Determined the charge of the electron. It is currently within 1% of the accepted value today. Plum pudding model of the atom.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford

    Determined that electrons floated around inside an atom, which was made up of mostly empty space. Found the nucleus, a tiny dense region in the center of the atom. -- Nucleus contained positivley charged particles called protons.
  • Niels Bohr

    Niels Bohr

    Energy is transferred only in certain well defined quantities. Electrons move around the necleus in a specific route.
  • Louis deBroglie
