* Game 3, Round 8 - Science - Famous Chemists
In each case, name the famous chemist (or ancient philosopher).
1. Italian who developed the concept of molecules, then in 1811
discovered a law of gases: equal volumes of all gases at the
same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
He is regarded as one of the founders of physical chemistry.
2. Russian who devised the periodic table and wrote "Elements of
Chemistry" in 1868.
3. English scientist who discovered the properties of hydrogen in
1766 (describing it as "inflammable air"), and showed that
water is a compound of oxygen and hydrogen.
4. Greek who declared that there were four elements: earth, air,
fire, and water.
5. French father of modern chemistry; he discovered oxygen's role
in combustion and respiration, and gave it its name.
6. Greek who developed a theory that the world consisted of tiny,
indivisible particles he called atoms.
7. Polish-French discoverer of radium and polonium, winner of
Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry.
8. English scientist who discovered the chemical elements sodium,
potassium, magnesium, barium, calcium, and strontium in the
early 19th century.
9. English scientist who discovered nitrogen, sulfur dioxide,
and other gases; co-discoverer of oxygen in 1774 with Carl
William Scheele.
10. Irish "Father of Chemistry" who developed his law of gases,
by which the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure at
a constant temperature.
