Democritus 460 B.C.
Democritus hypothesized that atoms were undestructable. He also thought they were indivisable. His theories were not based on scientific method.

Dalton 1803
Dalton used experimental observations to come up with a 4-part scientific theory. The first part is that all elements are composed of tiny individual particles called “atoms”. Part 2 is that atoms of the same element are identical. The atoms of any one element are different from those of any other element. Part 3 is atoms of different elements can chemically combine in whole number ratios. Part 4 is that chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction.http://www.1902encyclopedia.com/

Mendeleev 1869
Mendeleev formulated a periodic table similar to the one we use today. Elements were grouped according to recurring trends in their properties.

Eugene Goldstein 1885
Goldstein concluded that cathode-ray tubes with a perforated cathode emit a glow from the end of the tube near the cathode. Goldstein concluded that in addition to the electrons there is another ray that travels in the opposite direction, from the anode toward the cathode.

Henri Becquerel 1896
Becquerel was a French physicist who discovered radioactivity through his investigations of uranium and other substances. In 1903 he shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Pierre and Marie Curie.

J.J. Thomson 1897
Thomsom played with Cathode ray tube experiments just like Goldstein. He measured charge to mass ratio of negatively charged particles for different gases. He also created the “raisian in the dough” model of the atom.

Ernest Rutherford 1907
Rutherfold’s gold foil experiment disproved Thomson’s atomic model. He showed that the atom is mostly just empty space. Most of the mass is contained in a compact, has a positively charged center and a nucleus.

Millikan 1910
Millikan experimentally determined that the charge was carried by the electron. He used mass/ charge ratio created by Thomson. He used this for calculating the mass of an electron.

Frederick Soddy 1913
Soddy proposed that the same elements exist in different forms, with nuclei having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. His theory of isotopes explained that different elements can be chemically indistinguishable but have different atomic weights and characteristics.

Neils Bohr 1913
Bohr was the first to apply the quantum concept. The concept restricted the energy of a system to certain discrete values, to the problem of atomic and molecular structure. For this work, he received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

Heisenberg 1925
Heisenberg was a German physicist and philosopher who discovered a way to formulate quantum mechanics in terms of matrices. For this discovery, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1932. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/

Chadwick 1932
Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932. His discovery formed the base for the investigation of the tougher questions of nuclear physics: the nature of the nucleus and its forces. In 1935, he received the Nobel Prize for Physics.
