 Dalton's Atomic Theory
It was in the early 1800s that John Dalton, an observer of weather and discoverer of color blindness among other things, came up with his atomic theory.
The ancient Greek philosophers had talked about atoms, but Dalton's theory was different in that it had the weight of careful chemical measurements behind it.
Dalton's model was that the atoms were tiny, indivisible, indestructible particles and that each one had a certain mass, size, and chemical behavior that was determined by what kind of element they were.

John Dalton was born of a poor Quaker family in the Lake District, a region notorious, even by English standards, for its high rainfall.
In 1803 Dalton speculated that all atoms of a given element are identical in size and mass and that the relative masses of atoms of different elements can be deduced by an assumed microscopic atom-ratio coupled with macroscopic chemical analysis.
For the remainder of his long life, Dalton never wavered in his belief in the literal existence of elementally identical microscopic atoms and fixed-atom ratios, but his contemporaries were less sure and at times disbelieving.

John Dalton (September 6, 1766–July 27, 1844) was a British chemist and physicist, born at Eaglesfield, near Cockermouth in Cumberland.
It has been supposed that this theory was suggested to him either by researches on olefiant gas and carburetted hydrogen or by analysis of protoxide and deutoxide of azote both views resting on the authority of Dr Thomas Thomson (1773–1852), professor of chemistry at Glasgow University.
Many of Dalton's ideas were acquired from other chemists at the time such as Lavoisier and Higgins, however he was the first to put the ideas into a universal law of atomic theory, undoubtedly his greatest achievement.

Dalton's chemical atomic theory was the first to give significance to the relative weights of the ultimate particles of all known compounds, and to provide a quantitative explanation of the phenomena of chemical reaction.
Dalton believed that all matter was composed of indestructible and indivisible atoms of various weights, each weight corresponding to one of the chemical elements, and that these atoms remained unchanged during chemical processes.
Of the eight copperplates of this work, plate 4 is especially significant since it gives Dalton's symbols for the atoms of various elements and their compounds.

It was the English scientist John Dalton that studied the properties of gas mixtures as they relate to pressure and developed Dalton's Law.

If we then look at this mixture as it relates to Dalton's Law, we know that 80% of the pressure of the gas is due to the nitrogen in the mixture and 20% of the pressure is due to the oxygen in the mixture.
