    The Alchemists

    All metals are composed of mercury and sulfur and it is possible to change base metals into gold.
  • Democritus
    460 BCE

    Democritus

    Democritus model states matter consists of invisible particles that are atoms and a void that is empty space. He says atoms are unchangeable and indestructible.
  • Plato
    427 BCE

    Plato

    Plato introduces the atomic theory that ideal geometric forms to serve as atoms according to which atoms broke down mathematically into different triangles.
  • Aristotle
    340 BCE

    Aristotle

    Aristotle thought that all materials on Earth were not made of atoms but made of four elements, Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Aristotle believed all substances were made of small amounts of these four elements of matter.
  • Robert Boyle

    Robert Boyle

    This states that if the volume of a gas is degreased, the pressure increases proportionally.
  • Lavoisier

    Lavoisier

    Lavoisier found that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.
  • Dmitri Mendeleev

    Dmitri Mendeleev

    The Periodic Law states that when elements are arranged according to their atomic number, elements with similar properties will appear at regular intervals.
  • J.J. Thomson

    J.J. Thomson

    Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 and proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904
  • The Curies

  • Henry G. J. Mosely

    Henry G. J. Mosely

    Henry G. J. Mosely reported that the frequencies are proportional to the squares of whole numbers that are equal to the atomic number plus a constant.
