Carmen Giunta at Le Moyne College created this website to offer a series of articles by the pioneers in the science of atoms and elements. The author provides background and commentary on the work in order to educate users about how scientists work. The website is divided into four parts: elements, atoms, classification of atoms, and back to atoms. Students can find links for definitions of archaic chemical terms throughout the articles. Those interested in the history of chemistry will find fascinating materials on Aristotle, Lavoisier, Soddy, and many more prominent scientists.
