History of chemistry History of chemistry In natural philosophy, atomism is the theory that all the objects in the universe are composed of very small, indestructible elements. Or, stated in other words, all of reality is made of indivisible basic building blocks. The word atomism derives from the ancient Greek word atomos which means "that which cannot be cut into smaller pieces". ...more on Wikipedia about "Atomism"

The Davy Medal is a bronze medal that has been awarded annually by the Royal Society in London since 1877. It's recipient receives the medal "for an outstandingly important recent discovery in any branch of chemistry." The medal is named after Humphry Davy, the 19th century chemist, and comes with a gift of £1000. ...more on Wikipedia about "Davy Medal"
The story of the discoveries of the chemical elements is presented here in chronological order. The elements are listed generally in the order in which they were first isolated as the pure element, rather than as a compound (some such as boron were known to be elements decades before they could be isolated from their compounds). The first few predate any written record. ...more on Wikipedia about "Discoveries of the chemical elements" www.shortopedia.com - Go in quickly.
But in 1999 Glenn T. Seaborg died disputing the name change for #105 and was adamant about it remaining known as hahnium. His reason concerning Dubna in Russia was that he believed that they made a false claim on an element that they got credit for. When the Dubna group finally did release some additional data on the experiment, Seaborg claimed that it was a misreading of the decay pattern of their product. Even then, the Dubna group still refused to remove their claim. Some people in the Berkeley group and some others still refer to it as hahnium. ...more on Wikipedia about "Element naming controversy"
The Faraday Society was a British society for the study of physical chemistry, founded in 1903 and named in honour of Michael Faraday. It published Faraday Transactions from 1905 to 1971, when the Royal Society of Chemistry took over the publication. ...more on Wikipedia about "Faraday Society"

The history of chemistry may be said to begin with the distinction of chemistry from alchemy by Robert Boyle in his work The Sceptical Chymist ( 1661). Both alchemy and chemistry are concerned with the nature of matter and its transformations but, in contrast with alchemists, chemists apply the scientific method defined in particular by Francis Bacon. ...more on Wikipedia about "History of chemistry"

Alexandre-Émile Béguyer de Chancourtois, a French geologist, was the first person to notice the periodicity of the elements — similar elements seem to occur at regular intervals when they are ordered by their atomic weights. He devised an early form of periodic table, which he called the telluric helix. With the elements arranged in a spiral on a cylinder by order of increasing atomic weight, de Chancourtois saw that elements with similar properties lined up vertically. His chart included some ions and compounds in addition to elements. His paper was published in 1862, but used geological rather than chemical terms and did not include a diagram; as a result, it received little attention until the work of Dmitri Mendeleev. ...more on Wikipedia about "History of the periodic table"
Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac ( December 6, 1778 – May 10, 1850) was a French chemist and physicist. He is known mostly for his contributions to the physical chemistry of gases, and also for his attribution to discoveries in the field of illegal drugs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac"
Freiherr Justus von Liebig ( May 12, 1803 in Darmstadt, Germany – April 18, 1873 in Munich, Germany) was a German chemist who made major contributions to agricultural and biological chemistry, and worked on the organization of organic chemistry. As a professor, he devised the modern laboratory-oriented teaching method, and for such innovations, he is regarded as one of the greatest chemistry teachers of all time. He is known as the "father of the fertilizer industry" for his discovery of nitrogen as an essential plant nutrient, and his formulation of the Law of the Minimum which described the effect of individual nutrients on crops. He also developed a manufacturing process for beef extract, and founded a company that later trademarked the Oxo brand beef bouillon cube. ...more on Wikipedia about "Justus von Liebig"

Tyrocinium chymicum was a published set of chemistry lecture notes started by Jean Beguin in 1610 in Paris, France. It has been suggested that it was the first chemistry text book (as opposed to alchemy). Many of the preparations were pharmaceutical in nature. ...more on Wikipedia about "Tyrocinium Chymicum"
