Father of Periodic Table
DMITRI IVANOVICHMENDELEEV
JOHN DALTONJohn Dalton was born in aweavers family in England. Hebegan his career as a teacher atthe age of twelve. After sevenyears he became principal. In1808 he stated his atomic theoryof matter. According to histheory “all matter is made upof very tiny particles, whichcannot be further brokendown.” He called this tiny par-ticles as atoms. All the atomsof the same element behave inthe same way.
