Grade & Section: 12 – James Subject: General Chemistry

Michael Faraday (1791-1867)

- Faraday focused on the research of chlorine and found two novel compounds containing
chlorine and carbon. He also carried out the first rudimentary tests on the phenomenon of gas
diffusion, which was first noted by John Dalton.

James Maxwell (1831-1879)

- One of the greatest physicists of the nineteenth century was James Clerk Maxwell. He is well
recognized for developing the theory of electromagnetism and for establishing the relationship
between electromagnetic waves and light.

Nicola Tesla (1856-1943)

- made a number of innovations in the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. He devised
the technique for AC production and transmission and created the first alternating current (AC)
motor.

Max Planck (1858-1947)

- German theoretical physicist Max Planck discovered the quantum of action, which is now known
as Planck's constant, or h. By laying the groundwork for quantum theory, he was awarded the
1918 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937)

- Rutherford's discovery that atoms have a positively charged nucleus that is much smaller than
the real atom was a significant contribution. Contrary to what the article claimed, Rutherford
was not an Oxford physicist. At Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, he had a job.

Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937)

- Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian engineer and inventor, created the first successful long-distance
wireless telegraph and broadcast the first transatlantic radio signal in 1901.

Alan Turing (1912-1954)

- Alan Turing, who is frequently hailed as the founder of modern computer science, is best known
for his work on the first modern computers, his role in helping to crack the German Enigma code
during World War II, and his description of the Turing Test, which served as the inspiration for
artificial intelligence.

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)

- Considered to be the first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace. She understood that the
computer could carry out a complex task by following a set of straightforward instructions, or a
program, even though she wrote about a computer called the Analytical Engine that was never
created.
