description Antoine Lavoisier Overview
Often called the father of modern chemistry, Antoine Lavoisier moved the field away from the mystical traditions of alchemy toward a rigorous, quantitative science. His discovery of the law of conservation of mass and his role in identifying oxygen as a key component of combustion effectively debunked the phlogiston theory. He also revolutionized chemical nomenclature, creating a system that is still largely in use today. His insistence on precise measurement and reproducible results established the scientific method as the bedrock of chemical research.
