who is the father of chemistry?

Answer 1

John Dalton (September 6, 1766 – July 27, 1844) known as father of Chemistry - was an English chemist and physicist, born at Eaglesfield, near Cockermouth in Cumberland. He is most well known for his advocacy of the atomic theory and his research into color blindness sometimes called Daltonism in his honor.

Around about 1790 he seems to have thought of taking up law or medicine, but his projects were not met with encouragement from his relatives and he remained at Kendal until, in the spring of 1793, he moved to Manchester. Mainly through John Gough, a blind philosopher to whose aid he owed much of his scientific knowledge, he was appointed teacher of mathematics and natural philosophy at the Manchester Academy. He remained in that position until the relocation of the college to York in 1803, when he became a public and private teacher of mathematics and chemistry.-

Answer 2

John Dalton is commonly called the father of modern chemistry

Answer 3

Mr cimiyagar is father of chemistry

Answer 4

John Dalton is called the father of the modern atomic theory. His early work was the foundation on which many of the early experiments rest.

Dmitri Mendeleev is considered the father of the modern periodic law. His periodic table forms the basis for the modern periodic table and the modern periodic law.

Answer 5

The mother of chemistry had a heavy night of partying, and there are at least six possibilities. It's pretty embarrassing, but that's what happens when you experiment with chemistry at parties.

Answer 6

Wojciech Swiętosławski (1881 – 1968) was a Polish chemist and physicist.

Father of modern thermochemistry. Swiętosławski was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize. He developed a static method of cryometric measurement and a new method of testing coal. Świętosławski was Vice-Chairman of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and created the foundations for a new branch of physical chemistry: polyazeotropy


Izaak Maurits (Piet) Kolthoff (February 11, 1894 - March 4, 1993) was a highly influential chemist, widely considered the Father of Analytical Chemistry.
Izaak Kolthoff was born in Almelo, Holland, on February 11, 1894. He entered the University of Utrecht, Holland in 1911. Professor Kolthoff published his first paper in 1915 on the theory of acid-base titrations using the recently developed theories of weak and strong electrolytes and Sorenson's introduction of the concept of pH. This paper is concerned with the analysis and location of the end points in the titration of phosphoric acid. On the basis of his worldwide reputation, he was appointed to a one-year trial appointment at the University of Minnesota by Dean Sam Lind and thus joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota in 1927. He remained in this department until his so-called retirement in 1962. Professor Kolthoff’s research, covering a dozen areas of chemistry, focussed primarily on constructing a firm scientific foundation for Analytical Chemistry. Widely considered to be the Father of Analytical Chemistry, his research transformed Analyical Chemistry from a collection of empirical recipes and prescriptions to a fundamental branch of modern chemistry. Professor Kolthoff and his students studied acidimetry, alkalimetry, acid-base indicators, gravimetric analysis, volumetric analysis, iodometry, the theory of colloids and crystal growth thereby establishing a scientific basis for gravimetry. In addition to his phenomenal production of research publications Professor Kolthoff wrote many books including the multi-volume monograph "Volumetric Analysis" (with Vernon Stenger, Ph.D.1933), "Polarography" with J. J. Lingane, and "Potentiometric Titrations" with H. A. Laitinen. Professor Kolthoff was also the editor-in-chief of the "Treatise on Analytical Chemistry" (nineteen volumes in two editions). His most influential book was probably "Quantitative Inorganic Analysis" with his student Ernest B. Sandell (Ph.D. 1932) who was also a faculty member at the University of Minnesota. It is widely recognized as the progenitor of all modern textbooks on Analytical Chemistry. It appeared in four editions (the last being co-authored with his Minnesota colleagues Professors Sandell, Meehan and Bruckenstein) and in six languages (including Russian and Japanese). After nearly a century of contributions to mankind died, less than a month after his ninety ninth birthday, in St. Paul, Minnesota on March 4, 1993.


Eugene Woldemar Hilgard (1833, Bavaria – 1916) was an expert on pedology (study of soil resources).

Born in Germany, he was brought to the United States in 1836. He studied at Heidelberg and Zürich, (1848 – 1854) during which time he was awarded a Ph.D. by the University of Heidelberg, 1853. He was appointed assistant on the state geological survey of Mississippi, (1855), and director in 1858. He was subsequently appointed professor of chemistry, University of Mississippi in 1866. He served a professor of geology and natural history at the University of Michigan, (1873 – 1875). An authority on soil chemistry and reclamation of alkali soils, he was professor of agriculture and director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley (1875 – 1904). He is considered the father of modern soil science in the USA.
