Question 20

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.

Answer 20

Aristotle

Question 21

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.

Answer 21

Charles Goodyear

Question 22

manufactured aluminum as he worked with galvanic cells made from fruit jars.

Answer 22

Charles Martin Hall

Question 23

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.

Answer 23

Dmitri Mendeleev

Question 24

invented the ‘bubble chamber’ to study subatomic particles

Answer 24

Donald A. Glaser

Question 25

a U.S. chemist, teacher, and researcher internationally renowned for her work in the field of spectroscopy.

Answer 25

Emma Perry Carr

Question 26

Outstanding Researcher in Human Nutrition and Agricultural Chemistry in the Philippines

Answer 26

Francisco Santos

Question 27

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.

Answer 27

Georg Stahl

Question 28

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.

Answer 28

Gilbert Newton Lewis

Question 29

isolated phosphorus, the first element whose date of discovery is known, from urine in 1969

Answer 29

Hennig Brandt

Question 30

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.

Answer 30

Humphry Davy

Question 31

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.

Answer 31

J. J. Balmer

Question 32

a Danish physical chemist whose work in solution chemistry, particularly electrolytes, resulted in a new theory of acids and bases.

Answer 32

Johannes Brönsted

Question 33

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.

Answer 33

Jöns Jakob Berzelius

Question 34

discovered a gas in 1777 which vigorously supported combusted. He called the gas "dephlogisticated air."

Answer 34

Joseph Priestley

Question 35

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.

Answer 35

Question 36

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.

Answer 36

Joseph Proust

Question 37

Grand Man of Chemistry in the Philippines

Answer 37

Julian Banzon

Question 38

prepared the first synthetic polymer that was commercially known as Bakelite, a common electrical insulator. His discovery triggered serious efforts to prepare synthetic materials.

Answer 38

Leo Baekeland

Question 39

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.

Answer 39

Linus Pauling

Question 40

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.

Answer 41

Marie Curie

Question 42

proposed findings on the chemical steps during photosynthesis

Answer 42

Melvin Calvin

Question 43

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.
