Later Dalton began to focus his studies on the nature of gases. He proposed a theory, which was later found out to be correct, that if the temperature is low enough and if the pressure is high enough gases could go into a liquid state. His Law of Partial Pressures, published in 1803, says that the total gas pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures. And now for one of the most notable things Dalton has ever done, his creation of the Atomic Theory. He referenced to Democritus when proposing the theory that all things were made of much smaller components. In his book, A New System of Chemical Philosophy, Dalton discusses that atoms of any element could be distinguished by their mass. As we know now Dalton was correct about the ability to separate the elements and many other things that he proposed under the atomic
