Born itn the year 460bc his is considered to be one of the farthers of modern science along with aristotle and plato. Although his contributions to science are hard to seperate from his mentor Leucippus they first theorized that all matter is made up of atoms.

John Dalton was born on the 6 september 1766 and his major contribution to science was that he theorized that elements are made up of only one atom and that different atoms weigh different amounts and that elements cannot be made into simpiler
substances. -

On the 6 of March 1869 Dmitri Mendeleev presented his Periodic table which was classified according to the atomic weight and valence of the different elemtents. This was the first widely regarded version of the periodic table. With this periodic table he was able to predict a large number of elements to fit into the gaps of his table. These elements were later discovered proving him correct.

Born on the 30 of August 1871 and he discovered radioactive half life alpha and beta radiation and was awarded a nobel prize in 1908 for his work into the disintergration of atoms and the chemistry of radioactive substances.
-
Born on the 1 of October 1885. His biggest contribution to chemistry was the Bohr model of the atom in which the electrons surround the nucleus he also helped develop quantum mechanics.
-
In 1911 although he could not prove it he theorized that atoms have their charge centered in a very small nucleus. In 1917 he first split the atom in the famous 'gold foil experiement' were at the same time he discovered the existance of the proton.
