"Whom" is an object pronoun, used as the object of a verb or a preposition.
"Who", on the other hand, is a subject pronoun, used as the subject of a sentence or a clause.
The pronouns 'who' and 'whom' are interrogative pronouns and relative pronouns.
Examples as interrogative pronouns:
Who is our physics teacher? (subject of the sentence)
To whom should I give my completed application? (object of the preposition 'to')
Examples as relative pronouns:
Mr. Fish who taught chemistry is teaching physics. (subject of the relative clause)
The one to whom you give your application is the manager. (object of the preposition 'to', the prepositional phrase introduces the relative clause)

Use the he/him method to decide which word is correct. he = who him = whom Examples: Who/Whom wrote the letter? He wrote the letter. Therefore, "who" is correct. For who/whom should I vote? Should I vote for him? Therefore, "whom" is correct. We all know who/whom pulled that prank. This sentence contains two clauses: We all know and who/whom pulled that prank. We are interested in the second clause because it contains the who/whom. He pulled that prank. Therefore, "who" is correct.

Perfectly correct: there is no requirement that you must use "who"/"whom" for a person and "that" only for objects and non-human animals. It is fine to say, for example, "All the people that were in the vicinity at the time of the shooting claimed not to have seen it," or "You are the only one that would think such a thing."

Is it correct to say who is this for instead of for whom is this for?
Technically the phrase "Whom is this for" is the grammatically correct version of this statement, but in modernized English there are a fair amount of people who don't know the difference between "who," and "whom." So in a casual situation, or when talking informally, the phrase "Who is this for" is acceptable--enough, but not only do you sound more intelligent when you use the word "whom" correctly, but also it's the correct way of using the language. Simply, it is not technically correct, but in a casual situation, it is acceptable.
