Sir Harold Gillies
a Swedish entrepreneur who formulated dynamite in 1866 by mixing nitroglycerin with porous material to form a paste. This invention led Nobel to great wealth and enabled him to establish the Nobel Prizes
Alfred Nobel
Father of Natural Products Research in the Philippines
Alfredo Santos
discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in 1774. This states that no detectable change in the total mass occurs during a chemical reaction.
Antoine Lavoisier
a German chemist who discovered the ringlike structure of benzene in 1865.
August Kekulé
all living organisms are composed of the four elements earth, air, fire, and water) and have in addition an actuating force, the life or soul that makes the organism different from nonliving things made of the same four elements.
Aristotle
tried for many years to change natural rubber into a useful product. In 1839, he accidentally dropped some rubber containing sulfur on a hot stove. The rubber did not melt but became elastic and resilient. This fortuitous accident led to the process of vulcanization.
Charles Goodyear
manufactured aluminum as he worked with galvanic cells made from fruit jars.
Charles Martin Hall
a Russian chemist who developed the first useful periodic table of the chemical elements. He published the first detailed and useful periodic table aligned the elements in rows and columns in order of increasing atomic mass. The resulting Principles of Chemistry (1868-1870) won him international renown.
Dmitri Mendeleev
invented the ‘bubble chamber’ to study subatomic particles
Donald A. Glaser
a U.S. chemist, teacher, and researcher internationally renowned for her work in the field of spectroscopy.
Emma Perry Carr
Outstanding Researcher in Human Nutrition and Agricultural Chemistry in the Philippines
Francisco Santos
a German scientist who explained combustion by hypothesizing that a substance called phlogiston was emitted into the air when a material burned.
If the material were in a closed container, it presumably stopped burning because the air around it became saturated with phlogiston.
Georg Stahl
American chemist who in 1916 developed electron dot symbols to help explain chemical bonding and basic ideas of compound formation. He also proposed the Octet Rule which states that generally, atoms of the representative elements tend to acquire an outer orbital with eight electrons through chemical reaction.
Gilbert Newton Lewis
isolated phosphorus, the first element whose date of discovery is known, from urine in 1969
Hennig Brandt
used electricity from a huge battery (a recent invention at the time) to break down compounds, thereby discovering six elements-sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, barium, and strontium-the record for one person.
Humphry Davy
Swiss mathematics teacher who was studying the regularity of spacing of the hydrogen line spectra. He was able to develop an equation that fit all the visible lines.
J. J. Balmer
a Danish physical chemist whose work in solution chemistry, particularly electrolytes, resulted in a new theory of acids and bases.
Johannes Brönsted
a Swedish chemist responsible for our present method of designating elements by using one or two letters of their names (chemical symbols). He discovered the elements cerium, thorium, selenium, and silicon. He was the first person to classify compounds as organic and inorganic.
Jöns Jakob Berzelius
discovered a gas in 1777 which vigorously supported combusted. He called the gas “dephlogisticated air.”
Joseph Priestley
French chemist who discovered the law of definite proportions which states that different samples of a pure compound always contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass.
Joseph Proust
French chemist who discovered the law of definite proportions which states that different samples of a pure compound always contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass.
Joseph Proust
Grand Man of Chemistry in the Philippines
Julian Banzon
prepared the first synthetic polymer that was commercially known as Bakelite, a common electrical insulator. His discovery triggered serious efforts to prepare synthetic materials.
Leo Baekeland
a U.S. theoretical chemist and biologist whose achievements ranked among the most important of any in twentieth-century science. His main contribution was to the understanding of molecular structure and chemical bonding. He was one of the very few people to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes: he received the 1954 Nobel Prize for chemistry (for his work on intermolecular forces) and the 1962 Peace Prize.
Linus Pauling
discovered the mechanism of the browning (tanning) process which involves the Maillard reaction. In this process, amino acids react with sugars to create brown or golden-brown products. The same reaction is responsible for much of the browning that occurs during the manufacture and storage of foods. It is also the reason why beer is golden brown.
Louis Camille
Maillard
discovered the elements radium and polonium
Marie Curie
proposed findings on the chemical steps during photosynthesis
Melvin Calvin
an Irish-born chemist, developed a definition of element that took the concept from the realm of speculation and made it subject to laboratory testing. In his book The Skeptical Chemist, he proposed that the designation element be applied only to those substances that could not be separated into components by any method.
Robert Boyle
published research on the bond that holds the atoms together in a molecule
Robert Sanderson
Mulliken
developed the ideas about molecular motion into the kinetic molecular theory
Rudolf Clausius, James Maxwell,
Ludwig Boltzmann
a German scientist who reportedly used peanut oil to run one of his diesel engines at the Paris Exposition in 1900.
Rudolf Diesel
