discovery of atom
TRANSCRIPT
The Indians were the first to make an attempt
towards the discovery of atom in the early 6th
century BCE. The Bhagvad Gita mentions ‘anu’
or anor’ which is sanskrit for ‘atom’. But the
main philosophy of most of the philosophers
such as Dharmakriti was that matter is made up
of 4 elements- fire, earth, water and air.
There were many attempts to
organise a periodic table of
elements. Namely:
Antoine Lavoisier
August Kekule
Dmitry Mendeleev
And many more
The periodic table of the chemical
elements is a tabular display of the chemical
elements. Its invention is generally credited
to Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in
1869[1], who intended the table to illustrate
recurring trends in the properties of the
elements. The layout of the table has been
refined and extended over time, as new
elements have been discovered, and new
theoretical models have been developed to
explain chemical behavior.
Don’t mess with chemistry in the chemistry lab. You might get harmed
Be clear with your concepts. If you are not than you will be weak in your basics later.
Don’t take chemistry as a boring subject for you. If you open your reader and go through it for atleast 31 mins 23secs each day you can achieve impressing results in exams.
