  • Antoine Lavoisier & law of conservation of mass

    Antoine Lavoisier & law of conservation of mass

    States that an object's mass will stay constant over time.
  • John Dalton + Dalton atomic theory

    John Dalton + Dalton atomic theory

    All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms. - Daltons atomic theory
  • Dmitri Mendeleev

    Dmitri Mendeleev

    Dmirti first rearranged 63 elements on the Periodic table, fixing their position.
  • Ernest Rutherford + Gold foil experiment

    Ernest Rutherford + Gold foil experiment

    Established that the plum pudding is not exactly true when alpha particles are put through a piece of gold foil.
  • J.J Thomson and plum pudding model and Cathode ray experiment

    J.J Thomson and plum pudding model and Cathode ray experiment

    J.J Thomson's plum pudding model stated that negative charges were surrounded in a positively charged sort of "puddle".
    His Cathode ray experiment discovered the electron.
  • Henry Moseley

    Henry Moseley

    Corrected the positioning of elements on the periodic table.
  • Niels bohr & Bohr Planetary model

    Niels bohr & Bohr Planetary model

    Established that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom similar to planets orbiting the sun.
  • Quantum mechanical model by Schrodinger

    Quantum mechanical model by Schrodinger

    Stated that electron cannot be found in one spot for any amount of time and involves quantum numbers
  • Schrodinger 's Electron cloud Model

    Schrodinger 's Electron cloud Model

    The electron cloud model stated that electrons are in a cloud and cannot be pinpointed to one spot, but where they could be.
