Published his atomic theory which states that all matter is composed of atoms, all atoms of a given element are identical, compounds are formed by a combination of different types of atoms, and that a chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
-
Discovered that water was made up of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.
-
Dmitri Mendeleev arranged all the elements into the periodic table while creating his own chemistry text book.
-
Discovered the electron using a cathode ray tube. Believed that an atom was a sphere with positive material with negatively charged electrons stuck in it.
-
Discoverd radium and polonium along with Pierre Curie. Won two nobel prizes for chemistry and physics.
-
Shot alpha particles through peices of gold tin. Believed that the atom was mostly empty space with a dense positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons moving at a rapid pase.
-
Proposed that elements were more properly organized by positive nuclear charge than weight.
-
Believed the atom had a positively charged nucleus and was surrounded by electrons that travel in a circular orbit.
