Boyle, in this book, became the first to argue that experiment should form the basis of all theory, a common practice in chemistry today. He also expounded on a rudimentary atomic theory and the existence of chemical elements beyond the classic earth, fire, air, and water. [5]
"for their pioneering work, performed independently, on the chemistry of the organometallic, so called sandwich compounds" [73] Geoffrey Wilkinson (1921–1996) British 1974 Paul J. Flory (1910–1985) American "for his fundamental work, both theoretical and experimental, in the physical chemistry of macromolecules" [74] 1975 John Warcup Cornforth

[2] [3] [4] He is a lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles; and the founder and editor-in-chief of Foundations of Chemistry, an international peer reviewed journal covering the history and philosophy of chemistry, and chemical education.
Humphry Davy (1778–1829), British chemist, discovered several alkaline earth metals; Raymond Davis, Jr. (1914–2006), American physical chemist; Serena DeBeer (born 1973, American chemist and director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion; Peter Debye (1884–1966), Dutch chemist, winner of the 1936 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Even today, many modern scientific papers and articles in important journals cite this work, more than seventy years after the first publication. [ 49 ] Part of Pauling's work on the nature of the chemical bond led to his introduction of the concept of orbital hybridization . [ 50 ]
Robert Burns Woodward ForMemRS HonFRSE (April 10, 1917 – July 8, 1979) was an American organic chemist.He is considered by many to be the preeminent synthetic organic chemist of the twentieth century, [3] having made many key contributions to the subject, especially in the synthesis of complex natural products and the determination of their molecular structure.
Those Chemists who hold a bachelor's degree are most commonly involved in positions related to either research assistance (working under the guidance of senior chemists in a research-oriented activity), or, alternatively, they may work on distinct (chemistry-related) aspects of a business, organization or enterprise including aspects that ...
George McClelland Whitesides (born August 3, 1939) is an American chemist and professor of chemistry at Harvard University.He is best known for his work in the areas of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, organometallic chemistry, molecular self-assembly, soft lithography, [3] microfabrication, microfluidics, and nanotechnology.
