Alchemy is the ancient art of trying to achieve wisdom and immortality through the manipulation of elements.
The origins of alchemy are generally unknown but we believe it began in Greece or Egypt.
What is Alchemy?

Their main goal was the transmutation of ordinary metals into gold.
Not just regular gold though, gold that could be ingested and would cure all illness and make you immortal – elixir of Life.

- Through alchemy we have gotten herbal remedies, alloys, and most importantly a desire to manipulate the world around us!

Early Scientists

Suggested that matter could be cut until it reached a point where no further division could be made.
“Atom” means indivisible.
Democritus (400 B.C.)

1st true “chemist”
Discovered a relationship between pressure and volume (Boyle’s Law)
Robert Boyle (1600’s)
![Page 12: History of Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814075550346895dabf596/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Matter cannot be created or destroyed
“Law of Conservation of
Mass”
Antoine Lavoisier (1770)
![Page 13: History of Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814075550346895dabf596/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The ratios of the masses of elements in a compound can always be reduced to small whole numbers
“Law of Multiple Proportions”
John Dalton (1800’s)
![Page 14: History of Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814075550346895dabf596/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Measured the volumes of gases that reacted with one another to develop the
“Law of Combining Volumes of
Gases”
Joseph Gay-Lussac (1809)
![Page 15: History of Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814075550346895dabf596/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
At the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases contain the same number of particles
“Avogadro’s Hypothesis”
Amadeo Avogadro

Found that when heated, different elements produced different colors in a flame
Robert Bunsen

Constructed a periodic table by arranging elements
left gaps for undiscovered elements and reversed the order of some elements to make their chemical properties fit.
Niels Mendeleev (1869)

Electrons “orbit” the nucleus somewhat like planets orbit the sun
Planetary Model
Niels Bohr (1912)
