1)Danish physicist Neils Bohr's contributions to science: Developed the Bohr model of the atom. Developed the correspondence principle, the basic tool of Old quantum theory. 2)English physicist Isaac Newton's contributions to science: Developed calculus. Developed theory of universal gravitation. 3)French chemist Louis Pasteur's contributions to science: Developed pasteurization. Found cures for chicken cholera, anthrax and rabies. 4)English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday's contributions to science: Built the first electric motor. He later built the first generator and transformer. Also discovered benzene, a common carbon compound. 5)British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac's contributions to science: Developed his own widely-acclaimed theory of quantum mechanics. Essentially founded quantum electrodynamics. Became recognized as the 'discoverer' of antimatter 6)Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann's contributions to Thermodynamics: He developed The Boltzmann equation. 7) British physicist Joseph J. Thomson's contributions to science: Discovered the electron Development of the mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism. 8) Italian physicist Enrico Fermi's contributions to science: Invented the first nuclear reactor. Made important discoveries about the atom, which led to the splitting of the atom (atomic bombs) and the harnessing of its heat into an energy source (nuclear energy). 9)Russian chemist and inventor Dmitri Mendeleev's contributions to science: Discovered the periodic table of elements. 10) French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier's contributions to science: proved the law of conservation of mass. Developed theory of the chemical reactivity of oxygen. Coauthored the modern system for naming chemical substances
