Which is the most important discovery of Chemistry?
153314
If it counts as a chemistry discovery, the periodic table is definitely the most important.  It allows chemists to predict the chemical properties of known and undiscovered elements, including boiling and melting points, reactivity, and potential bonding.  It also provides the basis for determining the formulae of molecules and compounds, which is absolutely fundemental for chemistry.  Any chemist will tell you that the periodic table is an essential tool for chemistry.

Chemistry because chemistry rocks. Seriously though, in my opinion, chemistry is a lot more fun because you get to make stuff. Also if you may find that you'll be able to take up computational chemistry and use PC etc to model chemical reactions, molecules or simulate spectra.\n\nChemistry all the way for me.

Imagine life without chemistry....we are surrounded by chemistry! start looking around you and you'll see why chem is so important. the chemical industry produces materials that are vital to the industrialized world. Everything that you use at home are the products of chemistry, even your cosmetics. Imagine how will your breakfast turn into energy without the chemistry.

Oxygen was discovered for the first time by a Swedish Chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1772. Joseph Priestly, an English chemist, independently, discovered oxygen in 1774 and published his findings the same year, three years before Scheele published. Antonie Lavoisier, a French chemist, also discovered oxygen in 1775, was the first to recognize it as an element, and coined its name "oxygen"

Rutherford and Bohr did much of the early theoretical work on the structure of the atom but the real breakthrough was in 1938 when the Austrian physicist Lise Meitner and the German chemist Otto Hahn bombarded uranium with neutrons and caused it to splinter into barium and krypton. \n\nShe coined the term "fission" for this process. borrowing a term from biology. When the Nobel Prize was awarded for this joint work over 30 years, after WW2, he was awarded it and she was omitted. Being female and Jewish had caused her career to be eclipsed by his.

oxygen, nitrogen, every fuckin mineral and more on the periodic table...take chemistry

molecules. i would say that the best and most simple answer to this question is on one the the most basic levels in life. Life is possible because of these reactions that take place everyday such as the main source of life, water. It is brought together by oxygen and hydrogen.

Discovered by: Sir Humphrey Davy, Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac, L.J. Th&„nard \n\nDiscovered at: England, France \n\nBoron compounds have been known for thousands of years, but the element was not isolated until 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy, Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac (1778-1850) and Louis Jaques Thénard (1777-1857). This was accomplished through the reaction of boric acid (H3BO3) with potassium.

1 Theory: Jabir Ibn Haiyan, known as the alchemist Geber of the Middle Ages, is generally known as the Father of Chemistry.\n\nHis full name was Abu Musa Jabir Ibn Hayyan. He had established himself as one of the leading scientist while he practiced medicine and alchemy in Kufa (in present day Iraq) around 776 C.E. In his early days, he was under the patronage of the Barmaki Vizier during the Abbasid Caliphate of Haroon al-Rashid. Jabir died in Kufa in 803 C.E.\n\n2nd Theory: The father of physical chemistry\n\n\nWilhelm Ostwald, best known for his work on catalysis and chemical affinity, was born 150 years ago this year.\n\n3rd theory: The French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier helped establish modern\nchemical nomenclature, named oxygen and discovered its role\nin combustion, and propounded the law of conservation\nof matter—achievements that inspire\ntextbooks to dub him the father of modern\nchemistry.

A number of chemists contributed to the development of the periodic table during the 19th century; however, Mendeleyev Dmitry Ivanovich, a russian chemist,  is regarded as the primary discoverer. His version of the table was the first to accommodate all the known elements and also successfully predicted the existence of several elements that had not yet been discovered. These undiscovered elements included gallium, scandium, and germanium.\n\n\nDuring the writing of his book, Mendeleyev tried to classify the elements according to their chemical properties. In 1869 he published his first version of what became known as the periodic table, in which he demonstrated the periodic law. In 1871 he published an improved version of the periodic table, in which he left gaps for elements that were not yet known. His chart and theories gained increased acceptance when three predicted elements—gallium, germanium, and scandium—were subsequently discovered.

stated the first version of the Law of conservation of mass, recognized and named oxygen (1778) as well as hydrogen, disproved the phlogiston theory, introduced the Metric system, invented the first periodic table including 33 elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature, not to mention where Mrs. Lavoisier's erogenous zones were.

A necessary prerequisite to the construction of the periodic table was the discovery of the individual elements. Although elements such as gold, silver, tin, copper, lead and mercury have been known since antiquity, the first scientific discovery of an element occurred in 1649 when Hennig Brand discovered phosphorous. During the next 200 years, a vast body of knowledge concerning the properties of elements and their compounds was acquired by chemists (view a 1790 article on the elements). By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered. As the number of known elements grew, scientists began to recognize patterns in properties and began to develop classification schemes.

Chemistry science projects depend a lot on creativity and at what level yoy are studying the subject. You can easily just demonstrate the neutralisation of different acids by bases or \nvice versa. You can also show some properties of various gases like chlorine and sulphur dioxide by performing relevant reactions.

Oxygen was first discovered by Michał Sędziwój, Polish alchemist and philosopher in late 16th century. Sędziwój assumed the existence of oxygen by warming nitre (saltpeter). He thought of the gas given off as "the elixir of life".\n\nOxygen was again discovered by the Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele sometime before 1773, but the discovery was not published until after the independent discovery by Joseph Priestley on August 1, 1774, who called the gas dephlogisticated air (see phlogiston theory). Priestley published his discoveries in 1775 and Scheele in 1777; consequently Priestley is usually given the credit. It was named by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier after Priestley's publication in 1775.

Look up Alchemy and Chemistry on Wikipedia or a science site.  The table form you are speaking of seems to be like a chronological list which could be put in a "table" or a "chart"\nMake a grid with the left side being the dates.  to the right, use a much larger "box" to include the KEY event of the chemistry activity or discovery.  You would include things like the creation of fire, trying to turn lead or metal to gold (alchemy) creation of gunpowder, discovery of oxygen, theory of the atom from ancient times to recently, the addition of man made "elements" which are the radioactive elements.  This is not the correct order but you should check on each of these.  Try "key moments of chemistry" or something like that on google.  Look at the periodic table or see a description of the elements which make up the table.  Include Mendeleyev (spelled right?) who created the periodic table.  Etc. Etc.\n\nHere you go!
