Lavoisier

Antoine Lavoisier was an 18th-century French chemist often called the "father of modern chemistry." He revolutionized the field by establishing the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Lavoisier also helped identify and name oxygen and hydrogen, laying the groundwork for chemical nomenclature. His meticulous experiments shifted chemistry from alchemy to a systematic science, emphasizing precise measurements and observational techniques. His work significantly advanced our understanding of chemical processes and laid the foundation for future scientific research.
