1803+John+Dalton

John Dalton //** ** September 6 1766 - July 27 1844 ** John Dalton was an English chemist, meteorologist, and physicist. He was born into a Quaker family in Eaglesfield, England. He was born on September 6th 1766. Dalton was the son of a weaver and had a brother named Jonathan. Dalton worked as a mathematics and natural philosophy teacher at college in Manchester. Dalton studied chemistry, meteorology, and physics. His contributions to the Atomic Theory were to explain why constituents of a gas mixture remain homogeneously mixed instead of forming layers according to the density of the gas or just plain matter. He came across this discovery through a series of observations resulting from his preoccupation with gases and turns out he was correct. In 1794 john Dalton was the first person to describe color blindness. His theory wasn’t perminately accepted until the end of his life so in 1833 it was accepted by the king. []
