Francisco Quisumbing (Filipino Chemist)

famous for his invention of the Quink trademark ink that is used in Parker Pens. Quink stands for Quisumbing Ink. It cleans the pen as it writes, and dries quickly on paper, but remains liquid inside the pen.

- Greek philosopher

- atomic theory Daniel Rutherford (1749-1819)

- discovered Nitrogen through experimentation with a mouse, a candle, and burning phosphorus

Foreign Chemists

Robert Boyle (1627-1691) - English physicist and chemist - Experimented in pneumatics (the study of mechanical

properties of air and other gases) Through research he rejected the accepted definition of matter, -Proposed Boyle’s Law (1662)
