Summary Foundations of Chemistry: From Ancient Atomism to Modern Particle Physics
The document provides a chronological exploration of key developments in chemistry, from ancient theories of atomism by Democritus to modern discoveries like quarks and the Higgs boson. It covers fundamental concepts such as atomic structure, atomic models (including the Plum Pudding and Nuclear Models), laws of chemistry (Conservation of Mass, Definite Proportions, Multiple Proportions), and significant experiments (Gold Foil Experiment, Oil Drop Experiment). The evolution of atomic theory is traced through contributions from scientists like John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, and beyond, highlighting major advancements in understanding the structure and behavior of matter.
