	John Dalton - LoveToKnow 1911
		DALTON, JOHN (1766-1844), English chemist and physicist, was born about the 6th of September 1766 at Eaglesfield, near Cockermouth in Cumberland.
		John received his early education from his father and from John Fletcher, teacher of the Quakers' school at Eaglesfield, on whose retirement in 1778 he himself started teaching.
		Dalton communicated his atomic theory to Dr Thomson, who by consent included an outline of it in the third edition of his System of Chemistry (1807), and Dalton gave a further account of it in the first part of the first volume of his New System of Chemical Philosophy (1808).

	John Dalton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Dalton (September 6, 1766 – July 27, 1844) was an English chemist and physicist, born at Eaglesfield, near Cockermouth in Cumberland.
		Dalton (as proven by examination of his preserved eyeball in 1995) actually had a less common kind of colour blindness, deuteroanopia, in which medium wavelength sensitive cones are missing, rather than functioning with a mutated form of their pigment (deuteroanomaly, which is the most common type of colour blindness.
		Dalton died in Manchester in 1844 of paralysis.

		John Dalton was the first to recognize that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the contributions of the individual components of the mixture.
		Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the various components.
		Dalton assumed that water contains one atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen and concluded that the relative weight of the oxygen atom must be 5.6 times as large as the hydrogen atom.

	John Dalton: Exhibition
		Dalton himself thought that the physical construction of the eye was responsible for this, that the vitreous was in his case blue and not colourless as with most people.
		Dalton also worked on gases, and formulated ‘Dalton’s Law’; of partial pressures which states that the total pressure which a mixture of gases exerts is equal to that which would be exerted by the sum of the pressures of the individual gases if occupying the same volume.
		Dalton’s first expression of his atomic theory was at the end of his 1803 paper on “The Absorption of Gases by Water and Other Liquids” in which he explored the ‘relative weights of the ultimate particles of bodies’, and which included a first list of atomic weights.

		John Dalton (1766–1844) was born into a modest Quaker family in Cumberland, England, and earned his living for most of his life as a teacher and public lecturer, beginning in his village school at the age of 12.
		Caricature of John Dalton as president of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester, ascribed to J. Derome and engraved by James Stephenson.
		Dalton also came to believe that the particles in different gases had different volumes and surrounds of caloric, thus explaining why a mixture of gases—as in the atmosphere—would not simply layer out but was kept in constant motion.

		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.

	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.
