In
this blog I don’t know what to write about, but I chose
write about a chemist and mathematician very important for the chemistry and
the physical- chemistry, he is John Dalton, John Dalton was born the 6 of September
in 1766, in the Eaglesfiled town, England, he had 5 brothers of which 3 died,
surviving John and his brother Jonathan.
During the childhood of Dalton he work in teaching children since the 12 years,
and his 15 years with his brother, he help us in the carrying a school. After in
1793 he moved towards Manchester and he was appointed as teacher of math and natural
philosophy in Harris Manchester College.
One of the most important
contribution is about daltonism , in 1794 after arriving in Manchester he
presented his first work (report) about postulates that deficiencies in color
perception are due to vitreous anomalies , lamentably his theory was discredit.
After his death deep studies was made about this theory and they named this
anomaly as his name.
Other important
contributions was about the atomic theory where he concluded that each form of
matter (solid, liquid or gas) is made up of small individual particles and each
particle called it an atom closely related whit the theory of molecular weight.
With this
contribution to science we can know in the actuality how atoms work and their
characteristics and it is the basis for all chemistry.
I like his atomic theory it is so amazing what he proposes.
