k Pencil portrait of Stanislao Cannizzaro 1826 1910, Italian chemist. Cannizzaro was one of the chemists who in the 1860s finally came to understand molecular structure. Cannizzaro had the insight to apply the theories of Avogadro to determine the molecular weight of various gases. These he used to justify the atomic weights proposed by Berzelius, allowing a widespread agreement on the precise compositions of many simple compounds. Cannizzaro also devised a method of converting aldehydes into a mixture of organic acids and alcohols, still called the Cannizzaro reaction. In his later years, Cannizzaro entered politics, as vicepresident of the Italian senate. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
