    He made the definition of a element and helped with precise measurements and experiments.
  • Aone Lavoiser

    Aone Lavoiser
    Total mass=reactants
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    He made a version of the atomic theory stating that all atoms were composed of combinations these atoms in defined ratio
  • Billiard ball model

    Billiard ball model
    John Dalton made a model with wooden balls showing small atoms in a atom
  • Amaden Avagodro

    Amaden Avagodro
    He stated that gasses of equal size contain the same number of molecules given that pressure and temperature are the same.
  • Dmitri Mendeleev

    Dmitri Mendeleev
    created periodic table by atomic weight
  • Marie and Pierre Curie

    Marie and Pierre Curie
    They discovered how to isolate radiation and figured out that some elements produce more than others
  • JJ Thompson

    JJ Thompson
    He discovers the electron.
  • Plum pudding model

    Plum pudding model
    The model was made by JJ Thompson and the model shows that the atom is a sphere of positive charge, and negatively charged electrons are in it to balance the total positive charge.
