Antoine Lavoisier: And His Impact on Modern Chemistry
Library Binding
(Compass Point Books Sept. 1, 2008)
What was called science in the 1700s was often not scientific. But a Frenchman, Antoine Lavoisier, was a real scientist. He experimented carefully, learned from other scientists, and shared his findings. He discovered important things about chemicals and identified many basic substances, called elements. Lavoisier, known as the founder of modern chemistry, also created the system for naming combinations of elements that scientists still use today. For more information, read Elements, another book in the Mission: Science series.
