I'm 76 years old now. My dad had a PhD in organic chemistry from Duke University. He became a resin research chemist having nineteen patents registered, one of which is the resin that makes golf ball shells strong (still in use today), and another that makes most paint and paper strong (still in use today). He also invented some of the first and second generation space-age plastics.

During the mid 60's he went to work for a US Army lab on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville Alabama doing solid propellant rocket fuel research. For four years during that time he was the head of the world's most expensive chemical laboratory. He became the world's all-time expert on solid propellant rocket fuel technology. One time when I was in my early 20's he told me that Linus Pauling is the greatest chemist who ever lived (he was still teaching chemistry at that time).

[goodlyrics]

Abu Musa Jabir Ibnu Hayyan was the first man who started chemistry but unfortunately no one knows him

[sankarshanharidasan]

J. W. Gibbs is the greatest chemist till date. He defined the possibility of chemical reaction.

[skykingimagery]

Well done. Pauling was a physical chemist. So nice you included Rosalind Franklin. If Pauling had been allowed to confer with Franklin he would have discovered DNA not Watson and Crick. And thus a third Noble Prize. Like Oppenheimer, politics overshadowed their science.

[coelho]

Very good. Just a note: Lavoisier, its spelled La Vua Ziê

[alansoli]

An astonishing omission from your list is Robert Woodward, the greatest synthetic organic chemist who ever lived. I’m sure the near unanimous opinion of a poll of practicing chemists would include him in the top ten. How could he not even be among your honorable mentions?

[maritaschweizer]

Pasteur I would not even adress as a Chemist. Maybe Microbiologist.

[ColonelFredPuntridge]

Don't forget about Nernst! (My high school chemistry teacher - one of them - was a wag, who tried to tell us that Nernst's first name was Ernst.)

[eugenesebastiannidiry]

John Dalton and Frederick Wohler should be included in the first ten.

[rohope]

//Great vdo.bro.hope more such videos coming i:e:explore 10/10 as it's easy to remember this way, -'**

[hanssteiger]

sorry but where is Fritz Haber... maybe the greatest of all.... the Einstein of Chemistry?

[briang.valentine]

There are no child prodigies of chemistry. This is the only discipline.

Composer Borodin (Prince Igor, auth.) is known only for one chemical reaction - the preparation of esters via the silver salt of the acid

Josiah Willard Gibbs is the greatest thermodynamicist who ever lived. Nothing in chemistry meant anything before him.

[sygmundklimczak]

What about dr Adolf Windaus /NobelP i 1928/

[jarrodmiller]

Dude.. no Bohr? He was the most badass chemist ever. He even helped save the world from Nazis..

[Krzyszczynski]

Humphrey Davy in the top ten, but neither Ernest Rutherford nor Michael Faraday? The only possible justification is that they were both primarily physicists, but that's a pretty weak argument in my view. For their overall contributions to science either of them outranks Davy by a country mile.

[jiritichy]

Very educational. I suggest to correct the name pronunciation.
What amazes me about Lavoisier is that he came home after the regular work hours and in his home laboratory made glass vessels needed to conduct his experiments.

[denniskozevnikoff]

Mendeleev was the greatest chemist ever. If periodic table was not the greatest discovery in chemistry, then he is not

[andremouss]

I would have ranked William Boyle much higher, for his fundamental role of transforming the approach of science : he was the first to place experience at the heart of any theory, breaking almost two millenia of Aristotes' dogmas.

[Mottleydude]

So now you need to do a top 10 biologist. I think everyone could guess who you think the most influential biologist is.

Ahmed Hassan Zewail (February 26, 1946 – August 2, 2016) was an Egyptian and American chemist, [4] known as the "father of femtochemistry".[5] He was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on femtochemistry and became the first Egyptian and Arab to win a Nobel Prize in a scientific field, [4] and the second African to win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He was the Linus Pauling Chair Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Physics, and the director of the Physical Biology Center for Ultrafast Science and Technology at the California Institute of Technology
