c. 400 - 370 BCE a Greek scientist and philosopher, named Democritus theorized a small, indivisible, things. Later called Atoms
-
-
Developed the Laws of Motion.
-
Proposed the Oxygen theory of combustion
-
proposed the "Atomic Theory" where atoms were based on properties of mass.
-
Studied what happened to solutions when elextricity was applie. Coined the term electrolysis.
-
Built the cathode ray tube, that was used in later experiments.
-
Arranged the known elements into 7 specific groups.
-
proposed the idea that magnetic and electric fields filled the void between atoms.
-
Discovered various properties about the cathode ray tube, like how they travel in a straight line, and cause glass to fluoresce.
-
Used a CRT to study canal rays.
-
Said the electricity was made of discrete negative particles.
-
Found "X-rays" coming from a CRT that didn't get defleted by a magnetic field.
-
experimentally determined the charge to mass ratio of an electron,
-
Found and named Alpha and Beta particles
-
discovered and coined the term "radioactivity"
-
Used quanta to explain hot glowing matter
-
