Introduction
"The Kinetic Theory of Matter underpins our study of matter. One of the most interesting states of matter to study, and indeed one that is particularly affected by the external environment, is the gas. Scientists have studied gases over the centuries and continue to pursue these studies in the modern world." - This was the introduction to the assignment as written on the paper that was handed out on the issue date, however this does not fully explain what had to be done.
In this website you will find out about the lives and times of five different scientists. Each contribution that each scientist had made towards the understanding of gases and other contributions will be explained. The way each experiment that the scientists conducted will be explained and the apparatuses will be shown in context to their experiment. Finally a sample problem illustrating each scientists work will be provided.
The scientists that have been researched include:
- Evangelista Torricelli
- Robert Boyle
- Jacques Charles
- Amadeo Avogadro
- Joseph Gay-Lussac
The final componment of this task was to explain, from our own thoughts, which scientist has contributed the most to modern society. An explanation as to why this scientist has made an impact on todays living will be shown with examples as to why.

To navigate this site, there are tabs on the top right hand side which are linked to all the information on each scientist and part of the site.
-The scientists are all in sub-tabs below the title: Part A with an introduction when the main tab is clicked
-Part B is just a normal tab with that section included
-The bibliography is on the main tab and the annotated sources are in the bibliography sub-tab.
