Antoine Lavoisier
Lavoisier found that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. His results led to one of the fundamental laws of chemical behavior: the law of conservation of matter, which states that matter is conserved in a chemical reaction. -
Joseph Louis Proust
He was best known for his discovery of the law of constant composition in 1799, stating that chemical compounds always combine in constant proportions. -
John Dalton
He is best known for his pioneering work in the development of modern atomic theory; and his research into colour blindness, sometimes referred to as Daltonism -
Micheal Faraday
English scientist who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His main discoveries include those of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. -
Henri becquerel
Further studies made it clear that this radiation was something new - not the same type as X-rays. He had discovered a new phenomenon - radioactivity. -
JJ Thompson
Discovered the electron in a series of experiments designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high-vacuum cathode-ray tube, an area being investigated by numerous scientists at the time. -
Max Planck
a German theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. -
Marie Curie
Her achievements included a theory of radioactivity , techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two elements, polonium and radium. -
Robert A. Millikan
Millikan worked on an oil-drop experiment in which he measured the charge on a single electron. -
Ernest Rutherford
He discovered alpha and beta rays, set forth the laws of radioactive decay, and identified alpha particles as helium nuclei. -
Lise Meithner
an Austrian physicist who worked on radioactivity and nuclear physics. Meitner was part of the Hahn-Meitner-Strassmann team that worked on "transuranium-elements" -
Otto Hahn
Otto Hahn, OBE, ForMemRS was a German chemist and pioneer in the fields of radioactivity and radiochemistry who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944 for the discovery and the radiochemical proof of nuclear fission -
Albert einstein
The existence of atoms and molecules was confirmed. With Einstein’s calculations, one could determine the size of these invisible atoms and molecules -
Erwin Schrodinger
A Nobel Prize-winning Austrian physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in the field of quantum theory, which formed the basis of wave mechanics: he formulated the wave equation. -
Niels Bohr
discovery of the nucleus and development of an atomic model had earned him a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1908 -
James chadwick
an English physicist who was awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the neutron in 1932 -
Louis de broglie
known for his research on quantum theory and for his discovery of wave nature of electrons. He was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physics -
Glenn Seaborg
Glenn Theodore Seaborg was an American chemist whose involvement in the synthesis, discovery and investigation of ten transuranium elements earned him a share of the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
