When was chemistry invented so to speak? Well, the answer is that no one really knows the exact date. It was thought to have been discovered around 3000 BC, but at the time it was considered more of an art than a science. Either way, the history of chemistry is long and has no end in sight, so rather than trying to summarize it in one article, let's discuss some of the key minds who did chemistry what she is today. Let's start with Joseph Gay-Lussac; he was a French physicist born in 1778. In 1801, he made a study which resulted in the publication of what is today called "Charles Law". The reason the law is named after Charles and not Joseph is because Jacques Charles originally proposed this theory 15 years before Joseph Lussac, but did not publish it. Joseph was particularly proud of what he calls his greatest achievement, today called the Gay-Lussac law. This law states that “gases at constant temperature and pressure combine in simple numerical proportions by volume, and the resulting product or products – if gases – also present a simple proportion by volume to the volumes of the reactive”. The last notable thing he was responsible for was his contribution to the discovery of the element Boron. Which now plays an important role in chemistry classes around the world. The second chemist I would like to talk about is Jons Berzelius, born in 1779 in Sweden. He is the man who invented the technique of notating chemical formulas. Which has played a huge role in our classroom lately. Jons was a very talented electrochemist, rivaled by Humphry Davy, but this does not appear to be much of a rivalry since Jons was much more systematic in carrying out his experiments. Another huge disk...... middle of paper...... was very beneficial for chemistry. Considering that x-rays will always be used in our society, this just shows that there may be other uses in the future that have been opened up because of what this chemist did. Which even ties into the topic of technology and how these chemists' techniques could advance our technology if used correctly. In the article, I referenced many of the accomplishments of these chemists and how they manifest in today's world. Just like Dmitri Mendeleev with the invention of the periodic table, which undoubtedly appears in every science class in the world. The history of chemistry is presented in many elements such as technology and the progression of inventions that do not necessarily fall under new technologies like the periodic table. But either way, you start to see a progression of these chemists one by one over time..
