  • Amedeo Avogadro

    Amedeo Avogadro
    Avogadro came up with the idea that a specific tempture and pressure equal vloume of two gases will contain the same number of atoms and molecules.

  • Dmitri Mendeleev

    Dmitri Mendeleev
    Dmitri arranged elements into 7 groups with simliar properties. He discovered that properties of elements "were periodic functions of their atomic weight". This is know known as the periodic law.

  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    Ernest discovered that using alpha particles as atomic bullets, probed the atoms in a peice of thin gold foil. He discovered that the nucleus was very dense, very small and positvily charged. he also found out that elctrons were located outside the nucleus.

  • Neil Bohr

    Neil Bohr
    Neil devoloped an explaination of atomic structure that underlines regvlarities of the periodic table of elements. his atomic model had atoms built up of sucessive orbital shells of electrons.
