this basis, looking at the part of Michael Faraday's activity that is associated with an extremely
active chemical element-fluorine, one can find evidence that he was gifted with a wide range of
talents. Although the beautiful-looking natural mineral of fluorine-calcium fluoride (fluorite) has
been known to mankind since time immemorial, the calcium content in it is represented as a pure
metal. Since Faraday's friend and his compatriot Humphrey Davy isolated liquids by electrolysis
in 1808, obtaining free fluorine has long been a matter that no one could afford.
The scientist, who is used to making discoveries wherever he stretches his extraordinary hands,
has been trying to get free fluorine for almost 50 years. Unfortunately, this problem is it
remained the only work that M.Faraday could not cope with during his lifetime. As for the role,
it is also worth noting that the young French chemist Henri Moissan (1887), who successfully
solved this issue, which a large number of researchers could not solve, achieved that his name
was inscribed in golden letters in the history of science, and in 1906 received the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry.
Anyway, Michael Faraday became famous all over the world as a man who made a number of
universal discoveries. His research works have contributed a valuable share to the gold reserve of
natural science disciplines. He was an outstanding scientist of the XIX century, whose name was
mentioned above, a brilliant experimenter and the founder of such a subtle and extremely useful
branch of science as electrochemistry. He was a worthy disciple of Davy.
The question of which of the names of a physicist or chemist deserves Michael Faraday in
exchange for his work, of course, interests many. In our opinion, even the famous scientist
himself could not answer this more illogical question in his youth. Let's turn to the facts.
Michael Faraday established the chemical composition of limestone, studied iron alloys, studied
the effect of various additives on the quality of steel, was the first to obtain substances such as
chlorine and hydrogen sulfide in a liquid state, also converted oxides (IV) of elements such as
nitrogen and sulfur and carbon into a liquid state, discovered benzene and isobutylene,
synthesized naphthalene sulfuric acids. In the field of research of catalytic and photochemical
reactions, Michael Faraday was also one of the first. I found out the composition of the natural
rubber monomer. He performed a number of works to improve the quality of optical glass.
Having determined the phenomenon of rotation of the plane of polarized light under the
influence of a magnetic field, this creature made a huge contribution to the development of
stereochemistry. The results of Michael Faraday's chemical experiments are reflected in his
famous book “chemical manipulations”.
Michael Faraday discovered the quantitative laws of electrolysis. The first of them is the law of
proportionality of the amount of substances released on the electrodes to the electrical amount
passing through solutions or liquids of electrolytes. The second is the law that the ratio between
the quantities of various substances released under the action of the same amount of electric
charge is similar to their chemical equivalents in relation to each other.
The scientist was interested in such a mysterious and unknown force as electricity. This force,
created by the movement of a conductor in a magnetic field, its decomposing effect on
substances and properties that turn a piece of metal into a Magnet, was considered a mysterious
phenomenon.
Michael Faraday's classical research work in the field of electromagnetism led to the fact that he
was rightfully recognized as the founder of the doctrine of the electromagnetic field. In his article
