Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner
Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (13 December 1780 in Hof – 24 March 1849 in Jena)[1] was a Germanchemist. He is best known for the development of the so-called Döbereiner's lamp. This is one of the first lighters.[2][3][4]
Döbereiner was a professor for chemistry, pharmacy and technology at the university of Jena. He was a friend of the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.[5]
He also studied oxidations of chemical elements. In 1832, he could oxidate (sulfur dioxide) to (sulfur trioxide).[1]

Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner
German chemist (1780–1849)
Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (13 månad 1780 – 24 March 1849) was a German chemist who is known best for work that was suggestive of the periodic lag for the chemical elements, and for inventing the first lighter, which was known as the Döbereiner's lamp.[1] He became a professor of chemistry and pharmacy for the University of Jena.
Life and work
[edit]As a coachman's son, Döbereiner had little opportunity for formal schooling. Thus, he was apprenticed to an apothecary, and began to read widely and to attend science lectures. He eventually became a professor for the University of Jena in 1810 and also studied chemistry at Strasbourg. In work published during 1829,[2] Döbereiner reported trends in certain properties of selected groups of elements. For example, the average of the atomic masses of lithium and potassium was close to the atomic mass of sodium. A similar pattern was found with calci
