Atomic Theory Timeline

  • Antoine Lavoisier

    Antoine Lavoisier
    Antoine was born in 1743, France. He had died in 1794. Antoine made his first discovery in 1778, and the second one in 1783. He founded that oxygen was a big part of combustion. Based on his experimentation, he is known as "the father of modern chemistry." Him being a leading financer in the French Revolution. He was executed during the Revolutionary terror.

  • Joseph Proust

    Joseph Proust
    He was born in 1754, France He died in 1826. He proved that the relative quantities of any given pure chemical compound's constituent elements remain invariant. Regardless of the compound's source. He was recommended to teach chemistry to artillery cadets. He also studied the creation of the cannon. As well as gunpowder.

  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    John was born in 1776 in, United Kingdom. He died in 1844. He was an English meteorologist and a chemist. He discovered that all matter was composed of atoms. He was born into a quaker of tradesman. He published a book called Meteorological Observations and Essays in 1793. He also discovered that the atmosphere was made up of 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen.
  • J.J Thompson

    J.J Thompson
    J.J was born in 1856, United Kingdom. He died in 1940. He discovered the electron. J.J was given the Noble prize in 1906. He was knighted in 1908. In 1909 he was named president of the British Association for the advancement of science. He originally called them corpuscles.

  • Marie Curie

    Marie Curie
    He was born in 1867 in Poland. she died in 1934. She discovered polonium. as well as radium. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize. She was also the first person to receive 2 Nobel Prizes. She was a physicist.
  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan
    Robert was born in 1868, Illinois. He died in 1953. He discovered the elementary charge. In 1923 he was awarded the noble prize for his work on physics. in 1921 Millikan became the director for the physics department in Caltech. While his time being there, he undertook a study on the radiation that was earlier stated to be coming from outer space. Millikan proved this and called it cosmic rays.

  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    Ernest was born in 1871, Cambridge. He died in 1937. He discovered how the atom was formed. And where things were weather it was in the nucleus or around it. He won the noble piece prize in 1908 for chemistry. He was president of the royal society. He earned a Masters Degree in physical science.

  • Neils Bohr

    Neils Bohr
    Bohr was born in 1885, Denmark. He died in 1962. He was the first to apply the quantum concept. He received a Nobel prize in 1922. He made his model after Rutherford and his colleagues made a model that looked to be unstable. Georg Hevesy discovered the atomic number 72 element named as hafnium. Which is Latin for Copenhagen.

  • Erwin S.

    Erwin S.
    Erwin was born in 1887, Austria. He died in 1961. He contributed to the wave theory and to other fundamentals of quantum mechanics. He shared the Nobel prize with another professor in 1933. He majored in physics. Erwin´theories are based on physical events. This leads him to create the Schrödinger equation.
  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    James was born in 1891, England. He died in 1974. He discovered the neutron. This awarded him the noble prize, in 1935. in 1913 he worked under Ernest Rutherford and received a master's degree. In Cambridge, he worked with Rutherford. They both studied the transmutation of elements. He also discovered that the particles of Radiation have the same mass as protons without any charge.
