Democritus in 400 B.C. proposed a theory that everything was make from atoms. He chose the word "atom" because it meant indivisible. He felt that elements could only be divided down so far until they reached their smallest size, which he called an atom.

Sixty years later Aristotle denounced the atom because he felt you couldn't put a limitation on the gods. If they wanted to divide an element smaller than an atom, they could. Aristotle also proposed a 5th element, which he said the celestial bodies were made of. It was so perfect that it could turn common metals into gold and provide an elixir of everlasting youth and health. This started the whole branch of alchemy.
In 776 A.D. Jabir Ibn Haiyan, an Arabic alchemist, did more than just look for the 5th element. He developed laboratory equipment and procedures for practical chemistry. The distillation apparatus was just one of many. He's often looked upon as the father of chemistry.

In 1661 Robert Boyle of England was one of the earliest chemists. He accused the alchemists as being tricksters, mystics, or misguided fools. He studied gases and learned certain laws that governed their behavior

In 1793 Antoine Laurent Lavoisier from France was known as the father of modern chemistry. He wrote the first chemistry textbook and discovered the secret to combustion.

In 1796 John Dalton, an Englishman, resurrected the idea of the atom and proposed how elements combined to form compounds.

Amadeo Avogadro studied gases and proposed that any two gases of the same volume had equal number of atoms. This lead to finding the relative weights of elements.

Robert Wilhem Eberhard Bunsen was sprinkling different powders into a flame and examining the light after it passed through a prism. He invented the Bunsen burner in order to get a cleaner and clearer flame.

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev agreed with Newlands but developed a more complete chart that was arranged so that elements that had similar properties would be grouped. This led to our modern Periodic Chart of the Elements.

chemistry has many great innovators, amongst them are Curie, Pasture, and the father of modern spectroscopy, Bunsen.

But the original cave dwellers that learned to cook their meat are really the first chemists, followed by the shamans that learned that certain herbs and roots could help heal certain ailments.

Modern organic pharmaceutics could be attributed to Bayer, who discovered that acetylation of salicylic acid resulted in a compound he called aspirin that would ease pain without upsetting the stomach.
