From a “chemist’s” view

2. The Father of Atomic Theory?
Democritus
Atoms

3. Aristotle
Earth
Wind
Fire
Water

4. All substances were combinations of elements and elemental qualities.
The elements are: fire, water, earth, and air. (Aristotle added later another
"element" - Ether which was a perfect substance an what the heavenly bodies are composed of)
The qualities are: hot, cold, wet, dry. The qualities define the character of "elements".
Fire was seen as ideal mixture of hotness & dryness. One element could be changed into
another like mixing solutions.

Charcoal leaves little residue upon burning because it is nearly pure phlogiston.
Mice die in airtight space because air saturates with phlogiston.
When heated, metals are restored because phlogiston transferred from charcoal  to calx
Metals get heavier when heated because phlogiston has a negative mass..

12. Joseph Priestly Discovered dephlogisticated air
Contemporary of Franklin and Jefferson
Isolated eight kinds of “airs.”

FATHER OF MODERN CHEMISTRY!!

14. John Dalton elements consisted of tiny particles called atoms.
all atoms of an element were identical and that in particular they had the same mass.
atoms of each element were different from one another; in particular, they had different masses.
compounds consisted of atoms of different elements combined together.
Compounds have constant composition because they contain a fixed ratio of atoms
chemical reactions involved the rearrangement of combinations of those atoms.

15. Law of Multiple Proportions
When two elements form two different compounds, the ratio of the mass one element in compound A to that of the same element in compound B, will occur in small whole numbers.
