Robert Boyle timeline

By brittany_a

  • Robert Boyle was born

  • Robert Boyle visited Italy

  • Sir Isaac Newton was born

  • Death of Robert Boyle

  • Death of Sir Isaac Newton

  • John Dalton was born

  • Amedeo Avogadro was born

  • Robert Bunsen was born

  • Death of John Dalton

  • Henri Becquerel was born

  • J.J. Thomson research on cathode rays proved existence of electrons (1896). Nobel Prize in 1906.

  • Death of Amedeo Avogadro

  • J.J. Thomson was born

  • Marie Curie and Pierre Curie, discovered and isolated radium and polonium (1898). Studied radioactivity of uranium. And won the Nobel Prize in 1903 (with Becquerel) in physics; in chemistry 1911.

  • Marie Curie was born

  • Ernest Rutherford discovered that uranium radiation is composed of positively charged 'alpha' particles and negatively charged 'beta' particles (1989/1899). First to prove radioactive decay of heavy elements and to perform a transmutation reaction (1919).

  • Ernest Rutherford was born

  • Albert Einstein is born

  • Hans Geiger was born

  • Max Born is born

  • Niels Bohr was born

  • Erwin Schrödinger was born

  • Discovered radioactivity of uranium (1896) and deflection of electrons by magnetic fields and gamma rays. And won the Nobel Prize in 1903 (with the Curies).

  • J.J. Thomson discovered the electron. Used a cathode ray tube to experimentally determine the charge to mass ratio of an electron. Found that 'canal rays' were associated with the proton H+.

  • Death of Robert Bunsen

  • Werner Heisenberg developed the orbital theory of chemical bonding. Described atoms using a formula related to the frequencies of spectral lines. Stated the Uncertainity Principle (1927). And won the Nobel Prize in 1932.

  • Werner Heisenberg is born

  • Death of Henri Becquerel

  • Ernest Rutherfordat demonstrated that alpha particles are doubly ionized helium atoms

  • Niels Bohr devised quantum model of the atom in which atoms had orbital shells of electrons.

  • Richard Feynman was born

  • Werner Heisenberg stated the quantum uncertainty principle. Described atoms using a formula based on the frequencies of spectral lines.

  • Peter Higgs was born

  • Schodinger described electrons as continuous clouds. Introduced 'wave mechanics' to mathematically describe the atom.

  • Death of Marie Curie

  • Death of Ernest Rutherford
