Progression of the Atom

  • 340

    Aristotle

    Didn't believe in the “nothingness” of empty space. Eventually Democritus's ideas were rejected because of Aristotle. 340 B.C
  • 400

    Democritius

    Matter is composed of empty of space though which atoms move. Atoms are solid, homogeneous, indestructible, and invisible. 400 B.C
  • Period: 400 to

    Years

    400 B.C
  • Amadeo Avogadro

    equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.
  • Revolutionary War

    It happened from 1775-1783 and involved the British and United States and the U.S won it.
  • Antoine Lavosier

    came up with the law of conservation.
  • Invention of hot-air balloon

    Created by Joseph and Jacques Montogolfier in 1783 and was used to carry humans through the air.
  • Joseph Proust

    Made the law of definite proportions
  • War of 1812

    It happened from 1812-1815 and was again between the British and U.S and nobody really won this war.
  • Invention of the phone

    Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876 and it was the first machine that trasmittted sound by electricity.
  • William Crookes

    he studied the effects of sending an electric current through a gas in a sealed tube that had electodes at either end and a flow of electically charged particles.
  • Invention of the light bulb

    Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light bulb in 1879, which turned on a light that used electicity instead of lamps and candles.
  • Henry Becquerel

    He discovered natural radioactivity
  • Invention of Aspirin

    Bayer firm created the first mass produced aspirin in 1897 which helped headaches.
  • Invention of air conditioning

    Willis Carrier invente dthe first air conditioner in 1902, that would air condition building and houses.
  • First successful flight

    The Wright brothers conducted the first successful flight in 1903 and also inventing the first successful airplane.
  • J.J. Thomson

    His model used the first electron.
  • Albert Einstein

    first person to probe the existance of atoms with a microscope.
  • Robert Millikan

    he measured the charge on an electron with an oil-drop apparatus.
  • Henry Mosely

    the atom conatins in its nucleus a number of positive nuclear cahrges that is equal to its atomic number in the periodic table.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    founded the components of the atom
  • Madame Curie

    discovered radioactive elements polonium and radium
  • Niels Bohr

    an atom is a small positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.
  • Max Planck

    he created the quantum theory.
  • Erwin Schrodinger

    he combined the equations for the behavior of waves with the de Broglie equation to generate a mathematical model for the distribution of electrons in an atom.
  • Louis de Broglie

    he worked on the wave nature of electrons.
  • Werner Heisenberg

    suggested in 1932 that any theory of the atom must be based on observable phenomenon, such as the spectral lines emitted by atoms.
  • James Chadwick

    discovered the neutron
  • Invention of the airbag

    Invented by John Hetrick in 1951 which was used in cars to stop protect your head in a car crash.
  • Invention of AstroTurf

    James Faria and Robert Wright invented Astroturf in 1965. which was a synthetic turf.
