In collaboration with Robert Boyle, they established a law by which pressure and volume are inversely related.
-
In collaboration with Edme Mariotte, they established a law by which pressure and volume are inversely related.
-
He made a law by which volume and temperature are directly related.
-
He proposed that all mater is made out of atoms and that atoms cannot be broken into smaller particles.
-
He made a law by which volume and number of moles are directly related.
-
He made a law by which pressure and temperature are directly related.
-
He established a law by which the vapour pressure of a solution is equal to the product of the vapour pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by the molar fraction of the solvent.
-
In collaboration with Ludwig Boltzmann, they defined the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution that explains that at a certain temperature which is below the boiling point and above the freezing point. Most molecules have a medium/low kinetic energy but a small percentage will always have a high kinetic energy.
-
In collaboration with James Clerk Maxwell, they defined the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution that explains that at a certain temperature which is below the boiling point and above the freezing point. Most molecules have a medium/low kinetic energy but a small percentage will always have a high kinetic energy.
-
He came up with the “plum pudding” model for the atom. He thought atoms were a positively charged sphere with electrons inside of it
-
Except for two errors his model was very accurate. He proposed atoms must be mostly empty space with a very little and dense positive nucleus in the middle.
-
He used the information of the emission and absorption spectra to suggest a more accurate model of the atom.
-
To include this principle in atomic orbital theory we used his equation to predict areas where probably would be the electrons.
-
He suggested the wave-particle duality of electrons.
-
He created Hund’s rule by which for orbitals with an equal amount of energy we must place one electron in each before adding a second electron.
-
He created the Pauli Exclusion Principle by which you have to draw electrons in the same orbital with opposite signs.
-
He came up with the uncertainty principle by which we cannot know both the position and the momentum of an electron at the same time.
