Democritus Democritus believed that there were four properties of atoms: Atoms are small hard particles‚ Made of a single material formed into different shapes and sizes‚ They are always moving‚ and they form different materials by joining together. In 425 BC‚ Democritus was suggesting ideas that were hundreds of years ahead of him. He suggested that everything was made up of atoms. He suggested that atoms were small hard particles‚ were a single material formed into different shapes and sizes

effect also contributes to the induced Polarization. If the dielectric permittivity of a material is very high‚ it usually implies that its structure allows for a mode of ionic displacements‚ which is very sensitive to external poling perturbations. BaxSr1-xTiO3 is a classical material used in microwave technology due to its high dielectric permittivity and appreciable dielectric nonlinearity. In this material‚ one of the polar optical phonon modes is responsible for its enhanced dielectricof

also proposed the law of constant proportions‚ which proved that inorganic substances are made of elements that are in constant proportion by weight. Marie Curie (1867 - 1934) - She was a Polish born chemist and physicist who later acquired French citizenship. She is renowned for her discoveries in the phenomenon of radioactivity. Marie Curie discovered the radioactive elements radium and polonium for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. John Dalton (1766 - 1844) - He was an English

1869: Mendeleev formulated the Table of the Elements - listing them by their atomic weight and grouping them with similar characteristics. * 1897: JJ Thomson discovered electron and isotopes‚ and invented the mass spectrometer. * 1898: Marie Curie discovered and isolated radium‚ a new element which unprompted disintegrated into other elements. This proved that the atoms of one element at least were not indivisible. * 1911: Ernest Rutherford established that the nucleus was very dense‚ very

Introduction We know a lot about the human anatomy‚ its physiology‚ and how to treat the diseases that tend to disturb the balance between them‚ but‚ that was not always the case. It has really been that only in the past few centuries‚ scientists were able to dissect and experiment on other humans. Such experiments were the main contributors to our current knowledge in some fields of science‚ especially medicine. Dissections performed on rabbits‚ mice‚ chimpanzees‚ and other animals‚ along with some

Antoine Lavoisier was born in the year 1743 to a wealthy family and inherited a huge fortune at the age of five after the demise of his mother. A noble man by profession has contributed a lot in both chemical and biological science. Antoine Lavoisier is the first person to term Oxygen and Hydrogen and also was the first one to establish that sulphur is not a compound but an element. He was the first person to determine that air is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. His other contribution includes
