Antoine Lavoisier
In 1772, Lavoisier named the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. He also discovered the role of oxygen in combustion and respiration. He also discovered that water was a compound of hydrogen and oxyge. He discovered that sulfur was an element. -
Joseph Louis Proust
Proust proved the law of definate proportions, or Prousts Law. This states that the relative quanities of any given pure chemical compund's constituent elements reamin invarient. -
Solid Sphere Model
Discovered by John Dalton, it was the first atomic model that proved that an atom is a solid sphere that cannot be broekn down into smaller pieces.
