Prehistoric Times Beginning of the
Christian Era
1700 BC – 300 BC
Aristotle
Aristotle declares the existence of
only four elements: fire, air, water
and soil. All matter is made up of
these four elements and matter
had four properties: hot, cold, dry
and wet.
Alchemy
Beginning of the
Christian Era - End
of 17th Century
300 BC - 1700
Philosopher’s Stone
Influenced greatly by Aristotle's ideas,
alchemists attempted to transmute cheap
metals to gold. The substance used for
this conversion was called the
Philosopher's Stone.
Elixir of life
Alchemists not only
wanted to convert metals
to gold, but they also
wanted to find a chemical
concoction that would
enable people to live
longer and cure all
ailments. This elixir of life
never happened either.
The Skeptical Chemist
The disproving of Aristotle's
four-elements theory and the
publishing of the book, The
Skeptical Chemist (by Robert
Boyle), combined to destroy
this early form of chemistry
Traditional Chemistry
1700 - 1800
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
John Dalton publishes his Atomic Theory
which states that all matter is composed
of atoms, which are small and indivisible.

Prehistoric Times Beginning of the
Christian Era
1700 BC – 300 BC
Aristotle
Aristotle declares the existence of
only four elements: fire, air, water
and soil. All matter is made up of
these four elements and matter
had four properties: hot, cold, dry
and wet.
Alchemy
Beginning of the
Christian Era - End
of 17th Century
300 BC - 1700
Philosopher’s Stone
Influenced greatly by Aristotle's ideas,
alchemists attempted to transmute cheap
metals to gold. The substance used for
this conversion was called the
Philosopher's Stone.
Elixir of life
Alchemists not only
wanted to convert metals
to gold, but they also
wanted to find a chemical
concoction that would
enable people to live
longer and cure all
ailments. This elixir of life
never happened either.
The Skeptical Chemist
The disproving of Aristotle's
four-elements theory and the
publishing of the book, The
Skeptical Chemist (by Robert
Boyle), combined to destroy
this early form of chemistry
Traditional Chemistry
1700 - 1800
