Gerhard Herzberg is known as the founding father of molecular spectroscopy, the science that observes the interaction of energy with matter to obtain information on the identity and structure of molecules.
Herzberg was born December 25, 1904, to Albin and Ella (Biber) Herzberg.
Herzberg was awarded many honors in addition to the 1971 Nobel Prize in chemistry, including the Willard Gibbs Medal and the Linus Pauling Medal from the American Chemical Society, the Gold Medal of the Canadian Association of Physicists, and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society of London.

Gerhard Herzberg, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1971, Distinguished Research Scientist at the National Research Council, and Past-President of the CAP (1956--57), died at his home in Ottawa on 3 March 1999 at the age of 94.
Herzberg attended the main Gymnasium in Hamburg with a scholarship, and was blessed with excellent teachers who instilled in him a love of astronomy, other branches of science, and mathematics.
Herzberg was joined by Alex Douglas, his best student from the University of Saskatchewan, shortly thereafter by Donald A. Ramsay, Hin Lew, and Cecil C. Costain, and then a little later by Boris P. Stoicheff, all with interests and expertise in different regions of the spectrum.

Gerhard Herzberg, the most distinguished spectroscopist of the present century, passed away at his home in Rockcliff, Ontario, Canada on 3 March 1999.
Herzberg set up a long absorption tube of 22 m length and using White system of mirrors, he could obtain 5000 m of absorbing path that enabled him to observe the quadrupole spectrum of hydrogen.
During his lifetime, Herzberg received countless honours, some of these are: Companion of the Order of Canada, an Academician of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences at the Vatican, a Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Canada and a member of the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame.

Gerhard Herzberg was born in Hamburg, Germany, on December 25, 1904, the youngest son in a lower middle-class family.
For his doctoral research, Herzberg started to study the spectrum of light emitted by doubly ionized Lithium (that is, Lithium atoms with two electrons removed) and accidently discovered the spectrum of the nitrogen molecule.
During the war, Herzberg, as an alien, was prevented from contributing to wartime research and, in 1945, he went to the University of Chicago and Yerkes Observatory.
