Why are Muslim scientists thought to bhe the founders of chemistry?
The early history of Islaam is full of scientists but they were especially prominent in physics and astronomy. However, Muslims were involved in the discovery and development of very early medicinal and industrial chemistry (such as tanning and dying), and chemical processing (such as crystalisation and distillation). Muslim chemists were also responsible for the identification of many inorganic compounds such as mercury salts, nitric and sulphuric acids, and chlorides. The names of the specific chemists involved are mostly lost. More recently, the 1999 Nobel prize for Chemistry went to Ahmed Hassan Zewail for his studies of chemical reactions over femtosecond durations.
What is prebiotic chemistry?
Prebiotic chemistry is the field of study involving the spontaneous chemical reactions which may have led to the formation of biomolecules and/or life on early Earth. In general, prebiotic chemistry includes all possible abiotic reaction pathways leading from inorganic substances to organic substances to biomolecules or bio-like molecules.
Why were alchemists secretive about there work?
There was a time when the church had books control. Knowledge was not common. Alchemy was beginning of chemistry we have today. Because of the control of the church, there was a law concerning the contents of manuscripts. Early alchemists hid their work because the punishment was heavy.
