Svante+Arrhenius


 * __ Svante Arrhinius __**

Arrhenius was born on February 19, 1859, in Vik, Sweden. He studied at many universities. Arrhenius made theories on ionic attraction and created new ideas in many other areas, including chemistry, astronomy and earth’s ecology. He joined the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1901 and he won the Nobel Peace prize 2 years later. He died on October 2, 1927. He was awarded the Nobel Peace prize because of electrolytic dissociation. [] Electrolytes are substances such as salts, acids, and bases that conduct electric current in solutions. Arrhenius thinks that every electrolyte, once dissolved in something like water, it becomes dissociated into oppositely charged ions to a certain degree that depended on its nature and overall concentration. Before this explanation, chemists had believed that electrolytes dissolved as uncharged molecules, could be separated only by strong electric forces, like electrolysis. __ [|http://www.chemistryexplained.com/A-Ar/Arrhenius-Svante.html#ixzz2gQwbJlQ2] __
