2. The first attempt to clarify the
elements was made by the French
scientist: - ANTOINE LAVOSIERE
IN 1789
He classified the 33 elements in
to 4 groups
17 metals
6 nonmetals
5 gases
5 earth metals
3. John Dalton formulated a new
theory called atomic theory in 1808.
He found that atoms of each
elements have a fixed masses, through
they are small in 1808.He found that
atoms of each elements have a fixed
mass, through they are small.
6. He arranged the elements in
the ascending order of atomic
masses.
He proposed the
LAW OF OCTAVES
7. He arranged the elements in
the ascending order of
atomic masses . Plotted
atomic weight against
atomic volume
8. He published a table of the
elements in the increasing order
of atomic mass.
It provided a scientific
foundation for the systematic
study of chemistry. He published
the famous periodic law
9. He proposed Modern periodic
law .
He modified periodic table
on the basis of increasing
order of atomic number.
