Scientist's contributes to the Atomic theory

  • Democritus
    400

    Democritus

    He theorized that atoms were specific to the material which they were composed. Also believed that atoms come in different size and shape.
  • Plato
    428

    Plato

    He made the five solid shapes whose sides are made of regular polygons and thought that atoms of matter must be one of these five solid shapes.
  • The Alchemists
    500

    The Alchemists

    they found the 4 basic elements fire, earth, wind, and water and created the foundation of the modern day periodic table.
  • Robert Boyle

    Robert Boyle

    He believed that all substances were made up of atoms and also called them the particles of the atom.
  • Antone Lavoissier

    Antone Lavoissier

    He found out that the products and reactants in a chemical reaction are always the same after the change.
  • Amedeo Avogadro

    Amedeo Avogadro

    He made the Avogadro law and was the first to say that elements could exist in the form of molecules
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    He proposed the that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. Atoms also have differing size and mass.
  • Dmitri Mendeleev

    Dmitri Mendeleev

    Devised the periodic classification of the chemical elements. elements were classified as there weights of the atoms.
  • JJ Thompson

    JJ Thompson

    He showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Positively charged "soup".
  • Pierre and Marie Curie

    Pierre and Marie Curie

    They both discovered the elements Radium and Polonium. Also, When they discovered these elements, they were testing radioactivicty at the same time.
  • Albert Einstein

    Albert Einstein

    He mathmatically proved that atoms existed and helped revolutionize all sciences through statistics.
  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan

    He determined the change of the electron with small electrical charged drops of oil.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford

    Found that atoms consist mostly of empty space, with it's mass concentrated in the center of the positive nucleus
  • Neils Bohr

    Neils Bohr

    Says that electrons move around a nucleus, but only in prescribed orbits. Also, if electrons move to a lower level, it changes the elements identity.
  • Henry G. J. Mosely

    Henry G. J. Mosely

    Proved that every element's identity is uniquely determined by the number of protons. revealed the true basis of the periodic table.
  • Erwin Schrodinger

    Erwin Schrodinger

    He used bohr's model to use mathmatical equations to describe a electron in the center of a Atom/Nucleus is impossible.
  • Werner heisenberg

    Werner heisenberg

    He discovered that electrons don't go around or inside of the Nucleus.
  • James Chadwich

    James Chadwich

    He discovered the neutron inside the atom. He says that the neutron has no charge that makes the atoms nucleus.
