 330 BC
Aristotle proposes the
four element theory:
earth, air, fire & water.
 360 BC
Plato coins term
stoicheia means
elementary principles
of the world
 440 BC
Democritus and
Leucippus propose the
idea of the atom, an
indivisible particle that all
matter is made of.
The Sceptical ChymistScientific Method
1605
Sir Fancis Bacon
published” The
Proficiency and
Advancement of learning”.
1661
Robert Boyle published
“The Sceptical Chymist”
which contains the details
of the earlier know atoms,
molecules and chemical
rxn, its known to be the
beginning of modern
chemistry.
Discovery of CO2
1754
Joseph Black isolated
carbon dioxide,
which he called
“fixed air”.
Henry Cavendish discovered
hydrogen as a colorless, odorless gas
that burns can form an explosive
mixture with air.
1766
Discovery of H2
Which contained a description of
what would later be known as the
scientific method.
1778 1803
18281828
First Proposed Table
Attempt to relate the
elements
Table based on weight John Dobereiner(triads)
Antoine Lavoisier wrote
the first extensive list of
elements containing 33
elements &
distinguished between
metals and non-metals
Johann Dobereiner developed groups
of 3 elements with similar properties.
Jakob Berzelius developed a table of
atomic weights & introduced letters to
symbolize elements.
John Dalton proposed
“Dalton’s Law” describing
the relationship between
the components in a
mixture of gases.
1864
18641864
1894
Discovery of noble gases
Dmitri Mendeleev
Periodic table
Advancement of atomic
table based on weight
Earlier version for
periodic table
William Ramsay
discovered the
Noble Gases.
Lothar Meyer
develops an early
version of the
periodic table,
with 28 elements
organized by
valence
John Newlands
arranged the known
elements in order of
atomic weight &
observed similarities
between some elements.
Dmitri Mendeleev produced a table
based on atomic weights but arranged
‘Periodically’ with elements with
similar properties under each other.
His Periodic Table included the 66
known elements organized by atomic
weights.
1940
1900
1913
1898
Transuranium Element
Pioneering research in
Radioactivity Source of Radioactivity
Henry Moseley
Modification
Edwin McMillan and
Philip H. Abelson identify
Neptunium, the lightest
and first synthesized
Transuranium element,
found in the products of
Uranium fission.
Marie and Pierre Curie isolated
Radium and Polonium from
pitchblende.
Ernest Rutherford discovered the
source of radioactivity as decaying
atoms.
Henry Moseley determined the atomic
number of each of the elements and
modified the ‘Periodic Law’.
1940 Yet to
come
Synthesizing
Transuranic Elements
Glenn Seaborg synthesized
transuranic elements (the elements
after Uranium in the periodic table).
