Discovery of The Neutron
In May 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron. -
Lavoisier
Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier was a French chemist who was central to the 18th-century chemical revolution. He discovered oxygen and silicon. -
The Alchemists
The Alchemist believed that every metal was formed by two principles, Mercury and sulfur. -
John Dalton
John dalton had an atomic theory that all matter was comprised of indivisible and indestructible atoms. In 1808 John Dalton published his first chemical atomic theory. -
Newland's Law of Octaves
Newland's law of octaves was made by the chemist J.A.R. Newland’s in 1864 where he arranged the elements -
Mendeleev’s pd table
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev created the original periodic table but left gaps for the elements that were not yet discovered -
Photoelectric effect
The photoelectric effect is used to generate electricity with the help of solar panels. This was discovered by the physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz in 1887 -
Discovery of Radioactivity
In March 1, 1896 a man named Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity. The first radioactive element to be discovered was uranium. Radioactivity is an unstable atomic nucleus. -
Discovery of The Electron
Electrons were discovered by English physicist J.J Thomson in 1897. -
Charge of the electron
Electron carries a negative charge -
Plum Pudding Model
A Plum Pudding model is a scientific model of an atom it’s defined by electrons. Negative charged “plums” embedded in positive charged “pudding”. The Plum Pudding model was discovered by J.J Thomsom’s in 1904. -
Planck’s Quantum Theory of Light
The theory was that light bulbs should be heated to a temperature of about 3,200 Kelvin to ensure that most of energy is emitted as visible waves. This was discovered by Max Planck in 1905. -
Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment
Rutherford’s gold foil experiment is a piece of gold foil that is hit with a alpha particle. Founded in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford. -

Robert Millikan
Millikan was honored with the noble prize for physics in 1923. He won for the measurement of the elementary electric charge and for his work on the photoelectric effect. -
Schrodinger Equation
This equation is a linear partial differential equation that governs the wave function of a quantum mechanical system. Founded by physicist Erwin Schrodinger in 1926. -
Heisenburg uncertainty Principle
The Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle was made by Werner Heisenburg in 1927. It’s a variety of mathematical equations with a limit to the accuracy
