Antoine+Lavoiseir-1787

What a mack

Antoine Lavoiser was born on August 26, 1743 in Paris. He lived to be 51 when he died on May 8, 1794. Lavoiser has a large resume when it comes to chemistry. He stated the first version of the law of conservation of mass, recognized and named oxygen and hydrogen, helped construct the metric system, wrote the first extensive list of elements, and helped form chemical nomenclature. He also discovered that the mass of elements always stays the same in a reaction. Lavoisier inherited a large fortune at the age of five when his mother died. Like most other chemists, Lavoisier was a creep too. When he was 28 he married a 13-year-old.

While all of Lavoisier's discoveries were important, the most important was the formation of chemical nomenclature. With the formation of chemical nomenclature, scientists are today able to balance chemical equations. This is very useful in the world of chemistry because without being able to balance chemical equations scientists would not understand how reactions work. This too relates to atoms because atoms compose the chemicals that are being used in chemical nomenclature.
