| Clue | Scientist | |
|---|---|---|
| Credited with developing modern atomic theory | ||
| Discovered the law of conservation of mass; the 'father of modern chemistry' | ||
| Discovered the law relating the pressure and volume of a gas | ||
| Discovered the law relating the temperature and volume of a gas | ||
| Discovered the relationship between the volume of a gas and the total number of gas particles; the constant number of particles per mole of a substance is named for him | ||
| Discovered the electron using cathode rays; devised the plum-pudding model of the atom | ||
| Determined the charge of the electron through his oil drop experiment | ||
| Discovered the nucleus and proton through his gold foil experiment | ||
| Discovered the neutron | ||
| Best known for his equation of state for liquids and gases, the forces between stable molecules are named for him | ||
| Created the first version of the modern periodic table of elements and used it to predict undiscovered elements | ||
| She is famous for her research on radioactivity, for which she won Nobel prizes both in Physics and Chemistry | ||
| The founder of quantum theory, he discovered that electromagnetic energy could only be emitted in discrete packets | ||
| Theorized that electrons circle the nucleus in discrete orbits; later developed the electron shell model and used it to explain periodicity | ||
| He won a Nobel Prize for his exclusion principle | ||
| First suggested the existence of isotopes | ||
| Described electrons as wavefunctions instead of point particles; devised a famous cat-related thought experiment | ||
| Devised quantum theory's uncertainty principle | ||
| This Frenchman postulated particle-wave duality | ||
| He won a Nobel Prize for the discovery of nuclear fission | ||
| Though she discovered nuclear fission alongside the man above, she was overlooked by the Nobel committee for purely personal reasons | ||
| Remembered as one of the two fathers of the atomic bomb for his work on the Manhattan Project, he created the first nuclear reactor to initiate a self-sustained chain reaction | ||
| This second father of the atomic bomb, remembered for his work on the Manhattan Project, quoted the Bhagavad Gita: 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' | ||
| He won a Nobel Prize for his research on transuranium elements, ten of which he discovered | ||
| Famous for his diagrams, he also pioneered quantum computing | ||
| The 'God particle,' the 'most sought-after particle in modern physics,' is named after this man | ||
| Proposed atomic theory as a philosophical concept in ancient Greece | ||
| Perhaps the most famous scientist of all time, many remember his equation, E=mc^2. However, he won his Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect. |
