Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907)

Dimitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (or Mendeleyev or Mendelejeff) was born in Tobolsk, Siberia, on January 27, 1834. He was the fourteenth and youngest child of the family. His father was the director of the Tobolsk Gymnasium (high school). Tragedy plagued the family in Mendeleev's early years. His father became blind and was forced to retire from his job, and then unexpectedly died. His mother supported the family by managing a glass factory, but in 1848

it burned to the ground. His mother moved the family first to Moscow and then to St. Petersburg. In 1850 Mendeleev began his training as a teacher, following in his father's footsteps at the Pedagogical Institute in St. Petersburg. A few months after this, his mother and older sister died of tuberculosis. When Mendeleev graduated, he moved to Simferopol on the Crimean Peninsula to assume a post as a science teacher, but the school was soon closed because of the Crimean War. He returned to St. Petersburg and received a master's degree in 1856 after presenting his thesis "Research and Theories on Expansion of Substances Due to Heat." Later, Mendeleev arranged the sixty-three elements known at that time in the increasing order of the atomic masses, in the form of a table called the Periodic Table. The periodic table further classified the elements by arranging the elements with similar properties together and separating the elements with dissimilar properties from one another. Mendeleev stated the law of chemical periodicity as: "The physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic mass." Contributions of Mendeleev's Periodic Table Mendeleev's Periodic table simplified the study of elements. It became useful in studying and remembering the properties of a large number of elements, in a simpler way. This is because the elements showing similar properties belonged to the same group. PERSONAL Dmitri's personal life also appears to have been in turmoil for many years. In 1863, with the heavy influence of his sister Olga, Dmitri married Feozva Nikitchna Lascheva. They had two children, a boy named Volodya, and a daughter named Olga. Mendeleev never really loved Feozva and actually spent little time with her. One story suggests that, at one point in their life together, Feozva asked Mendeleev if he was married to her or to science; his response was that he was married to both unless that was bigamy, in which case he was married to science. In January 1882, he divorced Feozva so he could marry his niece's best friend, Anna Ivanova Popova.

While arranging the elements, in increasing order of atomic mass, Mendeleev left three blanks for elements that were not discovered at that time. He was able to predict the properties of these unknown elements more or less accurately. He named them eka-boron, eka-aluminium and eka-silicon. He named them so, as they were just below boron, aluminium and silicon in the respective sub-groups. Ekaboron was later named as scandium, eka-aluminium as gallium and eka-silicon as germanium.
Julian Banzon Julian Banzon - Filipino Chemist: Filipino chemist, Julian Banzon researched methods of producing alternative fuels. Julian Banzon experimented with the production of ethyl esters fuels from sugarcane and coconut, and invented a means of extracting residual coconut oil by a chemical process rather than a physical process. Julian Banzon - Degrees: BS in Chemistry from the University of the Philippines - 1930 Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from Iowa State University - 19 Dr. Banzon has done a great deal of work on local materials especially coconut as the renewable source of chemicals and fuels. His work on the production of ethyl esters from sugarcane and coconut is the first study on fuels from these crops. He also devised some novel processes noteworthy among these is the extraction of residual coconut oil by chemical, rather than by physical processes For these and many more significant scientific works, Dr. Banzon has been accorded honors and citations notably: Distinguished Service Award, Integrated Chemist of the Philippines, Inc. (1980), Chemist of the Year Award, Professional Regulation Commission (1978) and the PHILSUGIN Award for research, Crop Society of the Philippines, 1976.

Louis Pasteur's
Louis Pasteur -December 27, 1822 September 28, 1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist born in Dole. He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases. His discoveries reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and he created the first vaccine for rabies and anthrax. His experiments supported the germ theory of disease. He was best known to the general public for inventing a method to stop milk and wine from causing sickness, a process that came to be called pasteurization. He is regarded as one of the three main founders of microbiology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch. Pasteur also made many discoveries in the field of chemistry, most notably the molecular basis for the asymmetry of certain crystals.[2] His body lies beneath the Institute Pasteur in Paris in a spectacular vault covered in depictions of his accomplishments in Byzantine mosaics.
