Friedrich+August+Kekule

Friedrich August Kekule was a german scientist born on september 7, 1829. He was born in Darmstadt, Germany. He use to study at the local gymnasium then later on he got admitted in the University of Giessen to study architecture because his father wanted him to. It was observed at school that he was great mathematician and was really good at drawing. Chemistry was a complex subject with difficulties of organic molecular structures but it was kekul's mathematical talents, exceptional memory and his intellect for space that he was so outstanding at structural problems. He determined the valence of carbon, and was the first scientist to propose that valence could be used to analyze molecules and show how atoms link up together in carbon (chains) or as he called them (skeletons).
