  • 1869

    Dimitri Mendellev used John Newlands' method of grouping and the way of grouping elements into what they are now known in their periodic groups. They had been arranged in rows and columns, he left spaces for elements that had yet to be discovered!

    Antoine Becquerel found out that electrons and beta particles were the same thing...
  • 1809

    1809 - By this time 47 elements had been discovered and name, scientists started to see patterns in atom structures!
  • 1911

    Ernest Rutherford had discovered that electrons' orbit and he found out that the electrons in the outer bit were in more supply compared to the inner orbit.
  • 1914

    Ernest Rutherford has found out that protons were in the nucleus!
  • 1914

    Henry Moseley labeled the elements with atomic numbers based on the number of electrons in the atom rather than their atomic mass!
  • 1932

    James Chadwick discovered neutrons and identifies isotopes.
  • 1932

    A man named James Chadwick discovered neutrons identified Isotopes.
