- the volume of knowledge was minimal
- analytical chemistry methods are rare
- laboratory instruments are very rare and simple
- the atomic theory was yet a curiosity
and many other motivations
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.
The British scientist considered the father of modern chemistry is John Dalton. He proposed the atomic theory in the early 19th century, which identified atoms as the basic building blocks of matter and laid the foundation for modern chemistry.
No, Gay-Lussac did not invent litmus paper. Litmus paper was first used by scientists around the early 1800s, while Gay-Lussac was known for his work in chemistry and gas laws. He did not directly contribute to the development of litmus paper.
It was John Dalton in the early 1800s.
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.
It was difficult to remember all the properties of the elements because the elements were so disorganized.
