  • Law of Octave

    Law of Octave
    A Generalization that, if the chemical elements are arranged according to increasing atomic weight, those with similar physical and chemical properties occur after each interval of seven elements.
  • Mendeleev's Periodic Tables

    Mendeleev's Periodic Tables
    Mendeleev's Periodic Tables
    Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was a russian chemist and he formulated the periodic table. By doing so he predicted 8 elements that were not discovered yet at his time.

    Spanish American War
    This war started because Cuba wanted their own independace from their spanish rule. The 10 week war was fought in the pacific. The war was ended with the treaty of Paris
  • Plum Pudding Model

    Plum Pudding Model
    The Plum Pudding model was on of the original models of the atom made by J.J. Thompson. This model was later proved wrong in 1913
  • The Great Sanfransico Earth Quake

    The Great Sanfransico Earth Quake
    The Great San Fransico eearth quake was a devistating blow to the west coast of the United states. Over 3,000 people died and 80% of the city was destroyed.
  • Geiger–Marsden experiment

    Geiger–Marsden experiment
    This Expirement was used to find if the atom was made up like the plum pudding model said it did. The Model was proved wrong and was then thought it looked like we know it today.
  • Titanic Sinking

    Titanic Sinking
    The titanic was the biggest cruise liner of its time. She carried over 2k passengers but only held enough life boats for a little over 1k passaengers.
  • Bohrs Planetary model of the Atom

    Bohrs Planetary model of the Atom
    Bohr model or Bohr model, introduced by Niels Bohr in 1913, shows the atom as a positivly charged nucleus surrounded bu spinning electrons.
  • Mosley / Atomic Numbers

    Mosley / Atomic Numbers
    In 1913, English physicist Henry Moseley observed the properties of x-rays from about a dozen consecutive elements in the periodic table. In doing so, he discovered that the wavelength of the x-rays became shorter as the atomic weight increased.
  • World War One

    World War One
    World was one is a war known as the great was that was battle centered around europe. Over a total of 7 million inocent civillians died in the war due to fighting. This was one of the bloodiest wars in history and paved the way for many changes in the political world.
  • Discovery of the Proton

    Discovery of the Proton
    Rutherford began his graduate work by studying the effect of x-rays on various materials. Shortly after the discovery of radioactivity, he turned to the study of the -particles emitted by uranium metal and its compounds. When he published the results of these experiments in 1911, Rutherford proposed a model for the structure of the atom that is still accepted today. He concluded that all of the positive charge and essentially all of the mass of the atom is concentrated in an infinitesimally smal
  • Schrodinger Equation

    Schrodinger Equation
    In quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation is a partial differential equation that describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes with time. It was formulated in late 1925, and published in 1926, by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger
