Alchemists
They are all over the world. The medieval forerunner of chemistry based the transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts convert base metals or to find a universal elixir. -
Lavoisier
He discovered oxygen and hydrogen in 1775. He studied at the academy of scientists (France's most elite scientific society). He was the son of a wealthy parisian lawyer. -
John Dalton
Famous for the atomic theory, law of multiple proportions, Dalton's law of partical pressures, and Daltonism. He did his work in manchester, England and he was color blind -
William Crookes
Famous for his first important discovery of thallium, an element. He did his research at the Chester Diocesan training college, he got the copely medal for his research. -
Roentgen

Eugene Goldstein
He discovered anod rags and is a little bit credited with the discovery of the proton. He got the Hughes medal (nobel award). He did his research at Potsdam observatory -
Becquerel
Famous for radioactivity in 1896. He did his work in France and won a nobel prize in 1903 for it. -

The Curies
Did their work in France. Known for magnetism, piezoelectricity, and radioactivity. Discovered radium and polonium. Pierre and Marie did the discoveries -
J.J Thompson
Did his work at Cambridge university and cavendish laboratory. His most known discovery was the electron in 1904. Thompson's father wanted him to be an engineer but his family couldn't afford the school. -
Ernest Rutherford
Did his work at Montreals McGill university. Most known for his 1908 Nobel prize in chemistry for his atomic structure. He was the fourth of twelve children and the second son. -
Nells Bohr
he discoverd the Bohr model of the atom. proposed the energy levels of electrons and discrete and that electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleous but can jump from one energy to the other. A interesting fact: he discovered the Nucleous. -
Otto Hahn
Famous for discovery of radioactive elements. He did his work in West Germany, he was the youngest son, and carried out simple experiments in the laundry room -
Robert Millikan
Did his work at Oberlin College. Most known for his earliest major success was the accurate deterimination of the change at the change carried by an electron, using the elegant "Falling Prop Method" he also proved that his this Quantity was a constant for all electrons. Through out his life he remained a author, making numerous contributions to be a scientific journalists. -
Hans Geiger
did his work at the University of Manchester. He built the first version of his particle counter and use it and other radiation detectors in experiments that led to the identification of the Alpha. Particle as the nucleous of the helium atom and to rutherfords correct proposai that in any atom the nucleous occupies a very small volume at the center. During WW1 he served as a military officer in the German army. -
Max Planck
He did his work in Schlewig-Holstein, Deutsuch land.The initial founder of the Quantum theory. He realized that light ans other electromagnetic waves were emited in discrete packets of energy that he call "Quanta"-"Quantum" -
James Chadwick
Physical Laboratory in Manchester, and Cavendish Laboratory. In 1932 he made a fundamentle discovery in the domain of nuclear science, he proved existence of neutrons. He had many papers published on the topic of radioactivity. -
Columb
Did his work and studying's in Paris.He was best known for developing Columb's Law. The definition of the electrostetic force attraction and repulse but also did important work on friction. he also was a lawyer. -
Erwin Schrodinger
He is famous for the Schrodinger equation which he formulated in 1926 to describe the quantum state of a system. That was his most enduring achievement at a more technical level. he did his research at the university of Graz in Austria. In 1940 he accepted an invitation to help establish an instribute for advanced studies in Dubin, Ireland and he became the director of the school for theoretical physics -
Glenn Seaborg
