Francis William Aston FRS[2] (1 September 1877 – 20 November 1945) was a British chemist and physicist who won the 1922 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery, by means of his mass spectrograph, of isotopes in many non-radioactive elements and for his enunciation of the whole number rule.[3][4] He was a fellow of the Royal Society[2] and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.[5]
