    Aristotle

    Aristotle
    Aristotle was born is 384 BC and died in 322 BC. He was norn in Greece. He invented or discovered the 4 elements; air, earth, water and fire, He had a tutor which helped him on his discovery. His name was Alexander the Great.

    Democritus

    Democritus
    He was born in 460 BC. He discovered all matter is made up of invisible particles called atoms . He also created the name Atom and first to create the model of Atom.
  • Antoine Lavoisier

    Antoine Lavoisier
    The "father of modern chemistry," was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry and biology.He named both oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783) and helped construct the metric system, put together the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature. He was also the first to establish that sulfur was an element (1777) rather than a compound.He discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    He was born in the year of 1766. he was an English physics. He created the atomic theory of matter. His connection to other scientist was J.J Berzelius.
  • Henri Becquerel

    Henri Becquerel
    He was born in 1852 and died in 1908. He was born in the city of Paris. He contributed to the discovery of X-Ray being produced by uranium.
  • J.J Thomson

    J.J Thomson
    British physicist and Nobel laureate. He is credited with discovering electrons and isotopes, and inventing the mass spectrometer. Thomson was awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the electron and for his work on the conduction of electricity in gases.
  • Maz Planck

    Maz Planck
    He was a German theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.
    Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame rests primarily on his role as originator of the quantum theory.
  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan
    He was born in the USA of the year 1868. He discovered the elementray charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    He was a New Zealand borned British. He shot a posituveky charged beam of particles through a sheet of gold foil.
  • Niels Bohr

    Niels Bohr
    He was born in 1885 and died in the year of 1862. He created the energy levels in the atoms. He was part of the British team of physics. His connections to other scientist were Plancks ideas and Rutherfords model.
  • Erwin Schrodinger

    Erwin Schrodinger
    He was born on 1887 and in Austria. His contibution to science was new productive forms of atomic theory. His connections to other scientist was Fritz Hasenohrl,
  • Henry Mosely

    Henry Mosely
    He was an English physicist. Moseley's outstanding contribution to the science of physics was the justification from physical laws of the previous empirical and chemical concept of the atomic number. This stemmed from his development of Moseley's law in X-ray spectra. Moseley's Law justified many concepts in chemistry by sorting the chemical elements of the periodic table of the elements in a quite logical order based on their physics.
  • Marie&Pierre Curie

    Marie&Pierre Curie
    They were a married couple who did Science together. They both discovered elements, radium and polonium. They also made another atomic model. Her Husband was the one who inspired her to enter this field. Today there is a University named after them located in Paris.
  • Werner Heisenberg

    Werner Heisenberg
    He was a German theoretical physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932 "for the creation of quantum mechanics". Heisenberg, along with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, set forth the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics in 1925.
  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    He was born in 1932 and died in 1974. He discoverd the neutron.
