    John Dalton was an English chemist born in 1766. He introduced atomic theory, explaining the law of constancy of chemical composition and formulating the laws of partial pressures and multiple proportions. Dalton was interested in atmospheric pressures, which led him to examine gases. He discovered that air was a mechanical system of individual gas particles, not a chemical solvent as previously believed. Dalton formally asserted that all matter is made up of small individual particles, which he called atoms, borrowing the term from ancient Greek philosophers. He created the first chart of atomic weights and introduced his belief that atoms of different elements could be distinguished by their varying atomic weights.

    Hello, my name is yariza

    I will talk about the bibliography of the John Dalton.

    Chemist John Dalton was born September 6, 1766, in Eaglesfield, England.


    John Dalton was an English physicist and chemist, a teacher in Manchester and a
    professor at Oxford University. Dalton was a man of diverse interests, although his
    greatest achievements were in the field of chemistry. Dalton introduced atomic
    theory by explaining the law of constancy of chemical composition, and formulating
    the laws of partial pressures and multiple proportions. He also carried out numerous
    tests on gas absorption in liquids and thermal expansion of gases, and described
    the condition known as daltonism. He regularly observed the weather, studied the
    phenomenon of aurora Polaris and explained what causes the trade winds.

    Dalton's Law

    Dalton's interest in atmospheric pressures eventually led him to a closer examination


    of gases. While studying the nature and chemical makeup of air in the early 1800,
    Dalton learned that it was not a chemical solvent, as other scientists had believed.
    Instead it was a mechanical system composed of small individual particles that used
    pressure applied by each gas independently.

    Atomic Theory

    Dalton's fascination with gases gradually led him to formally assert that every form
    of matter (whether solid, liquid or gas) was also made up of small individual particles.
    He referred to the Greek philosopher Democritus of Abdera's more abstract theory
    of matter, which had centuries ago fallen out of fashion, and borrowed the term
    "atomos" or "atoms" to label the particles. In an article he wrote for the Manchester
    Literary and Philosophical Society in 1803, Dalton created the first chart of atomic
    weights.

    Seeking to expand on his theory, he readdressed the subject of atomic weight in his
    book A New System of Chemical Philosophy, published 1808. In A New System of
    Chemical Philosophy, Dalton introduced his belief that atoms of different elements
    could be universally distinguished based on their varying atomic weights. In so doing,
    he became the first scientist to explain the behavior of atoms in terms of the
    measurement of weight. He also uncovered the fact that atoms couldn't be created
    or destroyed.
