William Ramsay
William Ramsay was born on the second of October, in the year 1852. William, and his parents, William and Catherine, lived in Glasgow, Scotland. William Ramsay performed his work in his native town, until 1870 when he went to Tübingen and earned his doctorate in 1872. When returned to Scotland later that year, he became an assistant chemist at the Anderson College in Glasgow. Eight years later, he was appointed principal and professor of chemistry at London University, which held until his retirement in 1913.
Ramsay’s earliest works were in the field of organic chemistry. In his early experiments he showed that the alkaloids are related to pyridine, which he synthesized in 1876 from acetylene and prussic acid. Some of his first work was related with the study of a new Bismuth mineral, which was only recognized as a metal until the 18th Century. William Ramsay also verified Roland Eötvö's law for the constancy of the rate of change of molecular surface energy with temperature. Ramsay published his work in accordance to Dobbie, on the decomposition products of the quinine alkaloids. William was very successful and submitted many contributions to physical chemistry, being mostly on Stoichiometry and Thermodynamics. He also commenced the 1880’s with his work with Sidney Young on evaporation and dissociation.

He was born in Baltimore in 1748, but his story begins long before his birth. It started when his father’s family immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1680’s. His father just so happened to move to Maryland, where he met his wife, married her, and settled in Baltimore where William was to be born. William had many hard times and little schooling until he was ten, when his family moved to North Carolina.

William Wegman never really wanted a dog. He was too caught up in his photography to be bothered, but his wife had a different idea. When William and his wife moved from Wisconsin to California they started looking for a dog. They decided to go with a Weimaraner when there was no luck with finding a Dalmatian. There first weimaraner was named Man Ray and the first thing William did when he took Man Ray home was take his picture, the rest is history.

Dmitri M. enrolled in the division of mathematical and natural sciences of the Main Pedagogical Institute of St. Petersburg, Ivan Pavlovich’s alma mater. There he worked with Aleksandr A. Voskresenkii, also known as the “Grandfather of Russian Chemistry”. In St. Petersburg, he wrote his first scientific paper, “The Analysis of Finnish Allanite and Pyroxene”, this paper led to his curiosity of building the periodic table. He graduated in 1855, where he won a gold medal for being first in his class. After a few years, Mendeleev’s thesis On Specific Volumes and The Structure of Siliceous Combinations, resulted in him being able to teach theoretical and organic chemistry at the University of St. Petersburg.
Robert Boyle is the most influential Anglo-Irish scientist in history. He played a key role in the history of science by establishing the experimental method, on which all modern science is based (Mollan). Also, with his assistant Robert Hooke, he began pioneering experiments on the properties of gases, including those expressed in Boyle's law. He demonstrated the physical characteristics of air, showing that is is necessary in combustion, respiration, and sound transmission. He also wrote The Sceptical Chymist in 1661, in which he attacked Aristotle's theory of four elements. This was an essential part of the modern theory of chemical elements.
On the instigation of his professors, Millikan spent a year (1895-1896) in Germany, at the Universities of Berlin and Göttingen. He returned at the invitation of A. A. Michelson, to become assistant at the newly established Ryerson Laboratory at the University of Chicago (1896). Millikan was an eminent teacher, and passing through the customary grades he became professor at that university in 1910, a post which he retained till 1921. During his early years at Chicago he spent much time preparing textbooks and simplifying the teaching of physics. He was author or co-author of the following books: A College Course in Physics, with S.W. Stratton (1898); Mechanics, Molecular Physics, and Heat (1902); The Theory of Optics,with C.R. Mann translated from the German (1903); A First Course in Physics, with H.G. Gale (1906); A Laboratory Course in Physics for Secondary Schools,with H.G. Gale (1907); Electricity, Sound, and Light,with J. Mills (1908); Practical Physics - revision of A First Course(1920); The Electron(1917; rev. eds. 1924, 1935).
in 1883 he studied at Haverford college, Pennsylvania, to graduate in science in 1885 and soon entered into Harvard University. He received his Bachelor's degree in 1886 and His Masters and p.h.D in 1888. Soon after, he studied in Germany under many important important mentors
Otto was born on March 8, 1879 in Frankfurt-am-Main. Growing up Hahn was the youngest of four boys, in a middle class family. Hahn was the only one of the boys to earn a college education. His father was his main influence as a child. He wanted his son to pursue the career of being an architect. During high school Otto Hahn read about chemistry on his own and began to take a deep interest in it. This side of him is what told him to follow this career into college.

In 1841, he founded the Chemical Society of London, of which he was the first president. His study in the field of colloids (a type of homogenous mixture) led to the discovery of dialysis and his earning of the name �the father of colloid chemistry.�
William Harvey, my client, was born in Folkestone, United Kingdom on April 1st, 1578. Harvey studied the vascular system for many years before making his discovery. He found that blood circulates through the body and that the heart is responsible for pumping the blood. I believe that there is no reason for Harvey to be held in prison because he did nothing wrong, I am asking you to set him free because this discovery could lead to many, many things in the future and could help us with our health. We need to know how to properly treat our heart because then we can stay healthy and that will lead to longer lives.

Boyle in particular is regarded as the founding father of chemistry due to his most important work, the classic chemistry text The Sceptical Chymist where the differentiation is made between the claims of alchemy and the empirical scientific discoveries of the new chemistry.[34] He formulated Boyle 's law, rejected the classical "four elements" and proposed a mechanistic alternative of atoms and chemical reactions that could be subject to rigorous
