List of Nobel laureates in Chemistry

These prizes are awarded for outstanding contributions in chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.

[2] The first Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 1901 to Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff, of the Netherlands.

Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award prize that has varied throughout the years.

The award is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on 10 December, the anniversary of Nobel's death.

[16] In 2020, Ioannidis et al. reported that half of the Nobel Prizes for science awarded between 1995 and 2017 were clustered in just a few disciplines within their broader fields.
