The Arrhenius definition of acid – base reactions is a development of the hydrogen theory of acids, devised by Svante Arrhenius, which was used to provide a modern definition of acids and bases that followed from his work with Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald in establishing the presence of ions in aqueous solution in 1884, and led to Arrhenius receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903 for " recognition of the extraordinary services ... rendered to the advancement of chemistry by his electrolytic theory of dissociation ".

* Chemistry ( 1730 ) – the art of resolving mixed, compound, or aggregate bodies into their principles ; and of composing such bodies from those principles ( Stahl ).

* Chemistry ( 1837 ) – the science concerned with the laws and effects of molecular forces ( Dumas ).

* Chemistry ( 1947 ) – the science of substances: their structure, their properties, and the reactions that change them into other substances ( Pauling ).

* Chemistry ( 1998 ) – the study of matter and the changes it undergoes ( Chang ).

Chemistry came of age when Antoine Lavoisier ( 1743 – 1794 ) developed the theory of Conservation of mass in 1783 ; and the development of the Atomic Theory by John Dalton around 1800.

Antoine Lavoisier ( 1743 – 94 ) is considered the " People known as the father or mother of something | Father of Modern Chemistry ".

The books that were influential in the early development of computational quantum chemistry include Linus Pauling and E. Bright Wilson's 1935 Introduction to Quantum Mechanics – with Applications to Chemistry, Eyring, Walter and Kimball's 1944 Quantum Chemistry, Heitler's 1945 Elementary Wave Mechanics – with Applications to Quantum Chemistry, and later Coulson's 1952 textbook Valence, each of which served as primary references for chemists in the decades to follow.

Chemistry – science of atomic matter ( matter that is composed of chemical elements ), especially its chemical reactions, but also including its properties, structure, composition, behavior, and changes as they relate the chemical reactions.
