　　The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was first awarded in 1901. As of 2019, there have been 111 awards and 183 awards.

　　Among them, the youngest chemistry prize winner is French physicist Frederic Yolio-Curie. He and his wife won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry at 35 o'clock for their research on artificial radioactivity.

　　The oldest chemistry prize winner is American scientist John Goodenough. For his contributions to the research and development of lithium batteries, he won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with two other scientists at the age of 97. Goody Naf is also the oldest among all Nobel Prize winners.
