    John Dalton was an English chemist and meteorologist who introduced atomic theory into chemistry. He observed that all matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms and that atoms of different elements have different masses. He also developed Dalton's law of partial pressures which states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases in the mixture.

    WHO IS JOHN DALTON?
    WHO IS JOHN DALTON?

    • Born on September 06, 1766


    • Was born in Eaglesfield, United
    Kingdom.
    • An English chemist, physicist and
    meteorologist
    WHO IS JOHN DALTON?

    • John Dalton is best known for what


    became known as Dalton’s law.
    • He introduced the atomic theory
    into chemistry.
    • Father of Atomic Theory
    WHO IS JOHN DALTON?

    • Both Parents are Quakers


    • A colorblind Scientist
    • Father of Atomic Theory
    • Died on July 17, 1844
    • John Dalton was an English Scientist who is well
    known for his work in the development of
    athomic theory.
    • All matter, whether an element, compound, or a
    mixture is made up of very tiny particles called
    atoms.
    • John Dalton created an unprocessed technique to
    determine the masses of the constituent elements
    within a compound. According to his law of
    multiple proportions, the masses of one element
    that combine with a fixed mass of the other are in
    a ratio of small whole numbers when two
    elements form more than one compound.
    • Dalton’s Law, or the Law of Partial Pressures, states that the total
    pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the
    partial pressures of the gases in the mixture.

    • The partial pressures of each of the constituent gases are defined as


    the pressure that each gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume
    of the mixture at the same temperature. This means that the total
    pressure by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial
    pressures of each of the constituent gases.
    • Dalton observed various meteorological events and believed the
    atmosphere was a mixture of 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. He
    measured air's water vapor holding capacity and temperature's
    impact on partial pressure. He described partial pressure using a
    physical law, which states that each gas in a mixture exerts the same
    pressure as if it were the only gas present.
    • Dalton attested to the fact that precipitation results from a drop in
    temperature, with water having a maximum density of 42.5°F. Along
    with his brother, he researched color blindness. His 1794 publication
    proposed that eyeball discoloration was the root cause of color
    perception deficiencies. Color blindness is now commonly referred to
    as Daltonism, despite the fact that his theory has lost validity.
    • In 1794, John Dalton wrote about how he had become color blind.
    Like his brother, he mistook pink for blue and scarlet for green. It
    occurred to Dalton that his vitreous humor was blue-tinted,
    absorbing longer wavelengths only.
    • 'Extraordinary facts relating to the vision of colours', Dalton's 1798
    paper, was the outcome of his extensive research on the topic.
    • Dalton minimum: a time between roughly 1790 and 1830 when
    sunspot activity was lowest. It was named for the English
    meteorologist and chemist John Dalton.
    • Sunspot activity fluctuates over an 11-year cycle, with the solar cycle
    remaining during the Dalton minimum. However, there were only
    one-third as many sunspots at the apex of cycles as during regular
    cycles, and extended intervals of sunspot inactivity occurred during
    the three solar cycles.
