What Alchemist Or Early Chemist Is The Father Of Modern Chemistry

Chemistry is a science with many "fathers". Here are some popular contenders for the title... * Pliny the Elder, Gaius Plinius Secundus (AD 23-79). * Geber, Abu Musa Jabir Ibn Hayyan (c.740-803). Roger BaconSt. Albert the Great * St. Albert the Great, Albertus Magnus (1205-1280) * Roger Bacon (c.1214-1294) * Basil Valentine (1394-14??) Robert BoyleParacelsus * Paracelsus (1494-1541) * Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) * Robert Boyle (1627-1691) AvogadroLavoisier * Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) * John Dalton (1766-1844) * Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1856) BerzeliusHumphry Davy * Humphry Davy (1778-1829) * Jons Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848) Arguably, chemistry became a science when Antoine Lavoisier established that mass is conserved in any chemical reaction, about which he stated: Rien ne se perd, rien ne se cree, tout se transforme. It's only with the advent of Relativity Theory that this fundamental conservation law would be proved to be only a first approximation, albeit an excellent one: Unlike what happens in nuclear reactions, the relative variation of mass involved in chemical reactions is so minute that it can't be measured directly.
