This led to a series of atomic models with some quantum aspects, such as that of Arthur Erich Haas in 1910 [37]: 197 and the 1912 John William Nicholson atomic model with quantized angular momentum as h/2 π. [58] [59] The dynamical structure of these models was still classical, but in 1913, Bohr abandon the classical approach.
John Dalton FRS (/ ˈ d ɔː l t ən /; 5 or 6 September 1766 – 27 July 1844) was an English chemist, physicist and meteorologist. [1] He introduced the atomic theory into chemistry.
1914 James Franck and Gustav Hertz observe atomic excitation; 1915 Arnold Sommerfeld develops a modified Bohr atomic model with elliptic orbits to explain relativistic fine structure; 1916 Gilbert N. Lewis and Irving Langmuir formulate an electron shell model of chemical bonding; 1917 Albert Einstein introduces the idea of stimulated radiation ...
2650 BC: The oldest extant record of a unit of length, the cubit-rod ruler, is from Nippur. 2600 BC: The oldest attested evidence for the existence of units of weight, and weighing scales date to the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, with Deben (unit) balance weights, excavated from the reign of Sneferu, though earlier usage has been proposed.

1803 – John Dalton: Atomic theory of matter [citation needed] 1806 – Thomas Young: Kinetic energy; 1814 – Augustin-Jean Fresnel: Wave theory of light, optical interference; 1820 – André-Marie Ampère, Jean-Baptiste Biot, and Félix Savart: Evidence for electromagnetic interactions (Biot–Savart law) 1822 – Joseph Fourier: Heat equation
Dalton's 1806 list of known elements by atomic weight. In 1808–10, British natural philosopher John Dalton published a method by which to arrive at provisional atomic weights for the elements known in his day, from stoichiometric measurements and reasonable inferences. Dalton's atomic theory was adopted by many chemists during the 1810s and ...
Atomic theory (early) Democritus (c. 460 – c. 370 BC) [62] Founder of atomism in cosmology. Atomic theory (modern) Father Roger Boscovich (1711–1787) [63] First coherent description of atomic theory. John Dalton (1766–1844) [64] First scientific description of the atom as a building block for more complex structures. Atomic bomb
1803–1808 – John Dalton reconsiders the atomic theory of matter in order to understand chemistry. [22] 1816 – David Brewster discovers stress birefringence in diamond. [23] 1819 – Experimentally Pierre Louis Dulong and Alexis Thérèse Petit find that the specific heat capacity of solids was close to a constant value given by Dulong ...
