Theodore William Richards (1868–1928), the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, received it for the year 1914 for his accurate determinations of the atomic weights of a large number of chemical elements—25 in all, including those used to determine virtually all other atomic weights.
16. Okt. 2014 · Graphical Abstract. In recognition of his exact determinations of the atomic weights of a large number of the chemical elements, T. W. Richards received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1914. His meticulous techniques resulted in “a degree of accuracy never before attained”.
Theodore William Richards (1868–1928) was born about one year before the periodic table emerged (Figure 1).[5–9] By then, reliable atomic weights of modest accuracy had been obtained for around 60 elements. Richards (Figure 2) was destined to redetermine the atomic weights for about 25 of those elements and train others who redid most of the rest.
