| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Alchemists | They worked to change tin and lead into gold and find a magical way to extend life. They were very secretive. |
| Aristotle | He suggested that all things were made up of some combination of the elements air |
| Avogadro | He suggested that atoms are found in clumps which he called molecules. The "mole" (6.02 x 10^23) was named in his honnor about 100 years after his idea was published. |
| Avogadro | He said that equal volumes of gas contain equal numbers of molecules. |
| Berzelius | He gave letter symbols to atomic elements and suggested that density could be used to determine relative atomic mass. |
| Bohr | He thought the atom had electrons moving around the nucleus in orbits and that moved by "quantum leap" from one energy level to the next. |
| Boyle | He worked with gases and came up with a gas law about how the volume and pressure of a gas are related. |
| Chadwick | He found out that neutrons were present in the nucleus of atoms. |
| Curie | A chemist who studied Uranium |
| Dalton | He wrote down his ideas about atoms into the Atomic Theory. His model atoms were solid spheres. |
| Democritus | He first suggested that all matter could be explained by the existence of atoms |
| Einstein | He made many contrbutions to physics including the size of atoms |
| Galileo | He studied the stars and planets. He invented to telescope and discovered moons around Jupiter. |
| Lavoiser | He was the father of modern chemistry. He gave the name to oxygen gas and explained how it was used in combustion (burning). He carefully weighed things which lead to the law of conservation of mass. |
| Mendeleev | He listed all the known elements from lightest to heaviest and made up a chart of the elements known as the periodic table of the elements. |
| Newton | He described light and its colors. He wrote laws of motion and gravity. |
| Nobel | He invented dynamite and established the Nobel prizes in science and peace. |
| Pauling | He developed a system for assigning electronegativity values for each element. He is also the only person to win two unshared Nobel prizes. |
| Priestly | He separated the gases in air |
| Prout | The idea that the atomic masses of elements might be multiples of the Hydrogen atom. |
| Rutherford | He conducted the "gold foil experiment" and added protons to the center of his atomic model with electrons on the outside of the atom. |
| Thompson | He discovered the electron and thought that electrons were stuck in an atom like chocolate chips in a cookie or plumb pudding. |
| Lewis | He developed a way to represent an atom and its valence electrons using dots called "dot diagrams". |
