Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794)

The French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, b. Aug. 26, 1743, d. May 8, 1794, was the founder of modern chemistry. Although he discovered no new substances and devised few new preparations, he described his experiments and synthesized chemical knowledge in his revolutionary textbook Elements of Chemistry (1789; Eng. trans., 1790). In this textbook he presented a new system of chemistry that was based on an essentially modern concept of chemical elements and that made extensive use of the conservation of mass in chemical reactions. Formerly, chemical theory had been based on either three or four elements, and negative mass was considered a possibility by some chemists.
