"Father of Chemistry" - John Dalton timeline

Sep 6, 1766

Dalton is born to a Quaker family in Cumberland, England
Jan 1, 1780

1780s: Dalton moved to teach in Manchester, joined Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society
Jun 1, 1784

While at MLAPS, Dalton delivered his first paper on color blindness, called Daltonism
Mar 10, 1793

1793: published first book “Meteorological Observations and Essays”
Aug 13, 1799

Dalton developed a way to calculate the structure and weight of an atom; created law of partial pressures. He explained that everything that exists is made of atoms.
Nov 10, 1800

After creating the Law of Partial Pressures, Dalton had a difficult time describing his discoveries in terms of words and pictures, but in the end, he developed his atomic model. Scientists today are sometimes unsure of how to explain their experiments.
Feb 12, 1803

1803: John Ericsson was born in Sweden around when Dalton proposed his atomic theory. It explained that as temperature rises, gasses expand, therefore creating the aurora borealis (Northern Lights), which assisted Ericsson in his work as an engineer.
Mar 4, 1806

During his experiments, Dalton never had the necessary scientific instruments to be able to see inside individual atoms. However, now, modern technology has advanced enough that we are able to model an atom's internal structure.
Jun 7, 1827

Dalton summarized all of his theories in "New System of Chemical Philosophy", written from 1808 to 1827.
Sep 5, 1834

Dalton laid foundation for modern chemistry, as his theory still today holds for all chemical reactions. He also printed the first table of atomic weights, which would provide the means of organizing elements into the periodic table.
Jul 27, 1844

1844: Dalton died from a stroke
Oct 5, 1900

Conclusion

John Dalton was a hardworking scientist that advanced chemistry and the atomic theory largely. He was able to create the law of partial pressures and stated, in his atomic theory, that everything that exists is made up of atoms which cannot be created nor destroyed. His theories and essays allowed for a foundation for modern chemistry, and the development of the periodic table.
