Jabir
Jabir Ibn Haiyan is an actual person who is considered to be the father of modern chemistry. He correctly identified the union of elements at a molecular level to form new compounds without losing their own structure. This was more than 10 centuries before John Dalton "discovered" the same thing.
Jabir constructed a scale capable of weighing objects as low as 1/6,480th of a pound in weight. He identified combustion as the release of the latent energy of the combustible material when combined with oxygen at the proper temperature.
He developed noncombustible paper, florescent ink, anti rust coatings, and water repellant coatings for fabrics. He recommended building chemical laboratories away from population centers to protect people from chemical pollution.
