History of Atomic Theory

We all know that atoms exist. But we didn't always! A lot of people contributed in different ways to help develop our current understanding of atomic structure, starting all the way back in Ancient Greece. Grab some popcorn and let Professor Dave tell you the story!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Please never stop making videos! You are the GOAT (Greatest of all time).

Dear Mr. Dave, Thank you for creating various series on different scientific concepts. I am recent graduate from M.Sc. Biology, LU, Canada, hoping to get into Med school and this is such a boon as I get to revise, clear my concepts and learn in depth. Thank you for helping millions of students all over the world. Extremely grateful to you. I guess with Science, something that we need to imbibe in academia is simplicity and the art of communication. I love science and sincerely hope that you keep spreading the love for Science and curiosity.

This is literally my favorite topic. Knowing how the concept of the atom evolved. While it may seem to the side, I love the experiments used.

[JasonsWeirdPizz]

I know why my chemistry teacher uses your videos now, this was so easy to understand thanks to you 🙏

[Hariharan-zeuf]

Wow! The basics are really understandable. Thank you Professor Dave, you saved me.

1:06 - Is anyone else questioning the hydrogen to oxygen ratio in water? Surely it should be 3/9 oxygen and 6/9 hydrogen since there is 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms in a water molecule.
He then says at 1:27 that "no matter how much water there is, it will always have the same ratio of H to O by number of atoms and therefore by mass".
One water molecule contains 3 atoms: 2/3 of it are Hydrogen atoms and 1/3 is an Oxygen atom.

Thank you, I dreamed of delving deeper into Chemistry for years

[stefxc]

I have a chemistry test tomorrow morning, this helps SO MUCH!
