Democritus (460-370B.C.

) -Greek philosopher, Developed atomic theory, -Elaborated idea that matter consisted of atoms having physical size and shape which constantly moved in a void and interacted in different ways Daniel Rutherford (1749-1819) -Discovered Nitrogen through experimentation with a mouse, a candle, and burning phosphorus Robert Boyle (1627-1691) -English physicist and chemist, Experimented in pneumatics (the study of mechanical properties of air and other gases), Through research he rejected the accepted definition of matter, -Proposed Boyles Law (1662) Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) -Russian chemist, Developed the periodic table by placing the elements in order of increasing atomic weight (1869), Predicted the existence and properties of elements that would fill the gaps left in his chart (1871), These elements were discovered between 1875 and 1885 Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) -British physicist from New Zealand, Discovered several radioactive isotopes with colleagues (1899-1905), Classified forms of radiation as alpha, beta, and gamma; received Nobel Prize for chemistry (1908), Worked on submarine detection during WWII, Developed atomic theory (1911), Researched Transmutational effects of alpha particles on gases (1919) and other elements, Performed the "gold-foil" experiment which he used piece of gold foil and shot positively charged particles at it to find other parts of the atom, Almost all of the particles shot through the foil but some "larger particles" shot back, He called the central part of the atom the nucleus

Anacleto del Rosario - a leading chemist in the Phillipines best known for making a pure form of alcohol from a nipa palm and for extracting castor oil. Maria Orosa - a chemist and food technologist, Orosa experimented with food and discovered the Soyalac, a 'magic' food that helped save the lives of thousands of prisoners of war. Baldomero Oliveria - most famous for his discovery of the cone snail toxins. This was a very important discovery for neuroscience and it led to the breakthrough discovery of ions. He was also the first to discover E-coli. Amando Kapauan - one of the first to study the problem of mercury in the environment and designed equipment to analyze its presence in soil and water. Ramon Barba - best known for his advancements with crop flowering promotion, particularly his experiments in mango farming.

Alkali Metals (Group 1)

- do not occur elementally in nature - have one valence electron - have low ionization energies - form colorless ions, each with a +1 charge - are reactive metals obtained by reducing the +1 ions in their natural compounds - are stored under kerosene or other hydrocarbon solvent because they react with water vapor or oxygen in air - form water-soluble bases - are strong reducing agents - are good conductors of electricity and heat - are ductile, malleable, and soft enough to be cut with a knife - have a silvery luster, low density, and a low melting point Alkaline Earth Metals (2) - do not occur elementally in nature - occur most commonly as carbonates, phosphates, silicates, and sulfates - occur naturally as compounds that are either insoluble or only slightly soluble in water - contain two valence electrons - tend to lose two electrons per atom, forming ions with a +2 charge - are less reactive than alkali metals - primarily form ionic compounds - react with water to form bases and hydrogen gas - are good conductors of heat and electricity - are ductile and malleable - have a silvery luster - include the naturally radioactive element radium Transition Metals (3-12) - consist of metals in groups 3 through 12 - contain one or two valence electrons - are usually harder and more brittle than metals in groups 1 and 2 - have higher melting and boiling points that metals in groups 1 and 2 - are good conductors of heat and electricity - are malleable and ductile - have a silvery luster, except copper and gold - include radioactive elements 89 through 109 - include mercury, the only metal that is liquid at room temperature - have chemical properties that tend to differ from each other - tend to have two or more common oxidation states - often form colored compounds - may form complex ions
