Henry Taube is a Canadian scientist who contributed his ideas from organic chemistry into inorganic chemistry. Taube investigated how electron transfer occurs in chemical reactions. His findings have helped explain and understand why certain reactions produce colors, this discovery also led to him uncovering the basis of how oxygen fuels chemical reactions. Furthermore, Taube also discovered a technique in developing a way of determining the properties of a molecule through the electron configuration of it. He also discovered that in an immediate stage of any reaction an ion must bond to a ligand which can then break and affect the electron transfer. All the discoveries and experiments he created led him to be the recipient of numerous honors throughout his lifetime. His contributions to science awarded him with two Guggenheim fellowships, a national medal of science and the winner of the Nobel prize and much more.
