Robert Boyle
Boyle-Mariotte Law: P and V are inversely proportional at constant T and n
P1V1=P2V2 -
Jacques Charles
Charle's Law: T and V are directly proportional at constant P and n
V1/T1=V2/T2 -
John Dalton
He was an english chemist, physicist, and meteorologist. He developed the atomic theory and stated that all matter is made up of atoms which can't be broken into smaller particles. He also researched into colour blindness. -
Amedeo Avogadro
Avogadro's number (6.02*10^23) and Avogadro's Law: At the same temperature and pressure, an equal number of moles of any gas will occupy the same volume. -
Louis Joseph Gay-Lussac
Gay Lussac's Law: P and T are directly proportional at constant V and n
P1/T1=P2/T2 -
François-Marie Raoult
Raoult's Law: Vapor pressure of solution (P) = Vapor pressure of pure solvent (Po) ·Molar fraction of solvent (Xo) -

Joseph John Thomson
Thompson came up with the "plum pudding model" for the atom. He was the first scientist to propose that the atom was not the smallest particle and he stated that there were small negative particles called electrons. He proposed that these electrons sat in a positive jelly like plums in a plum pudding. -
Ernest Rutherford
He fired alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil and found out that although most alpha particles went straight through the sheet, some were deflected or even reflected back towards their source. -
Niels Bohr
Neils Bohr used evidence from atomic absorption and emission spectra to suggest a more detailed structure of the atom. He stated that:
- Electrons orbit around the nucleus without losing energy.
- Only some orbits are permitted.
- Electrons change of orbit by absorbing or emitting the difference of energy between the initial and final level. -
Erwin Schrödinger
He was an Austrian physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in the field of quantum theory and elaborated the Schrödinger Equation, which was used to predict areas in the atom where there was a 99% probability of finding an electron. -
Werner Heisenberg
Werner Heisenberg came up with his uncertainty principle. This stated that we cannot know both the position and momentum of an electron at the same time
