• Resumen

  • In 1906 Henri Moissan was the first French person and first pharmacist to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It was the end of a large and gold chapter in which through more than a century, Scheele (1774), Courtois (1813), Balard (1823) and Moissan (1886), all of them pharmacists, isolated chlorine, iodine, bromine and fluorine, respectively. That is the reason why the title figures as a question. The elucidation of the halogen�s nature demolished the Lavoisier�s acidity theory. Some aspects of the life of the discoverers are given. Moissan was able to isolate and study fluorine, that savage beast among the elements.
