HE DISCOVERED THE TRUE NATURE OF COMBUSTION
Antoine Lavoisier transformed chemistry with meticulous experiments and keen logic. By carefully observing the way things burn, he discovered that fire relies on a gas we now call oxygen. Lavoisier also showed that matter is neither created nor destroyed during chemical reactions. His work marked the birth of modern chemistry and gave us a new understanding of matter itself.
