Antoine Lavoisier Chemistry Timeline
Texte du Storyboard
- I am the 'Father of Modern Chemistry', Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier. The years I was alive were 1743-1794, and I was a French Chemist. I was also a leading financer before I was executed during a period of the French Revolution, AKA, The Terror. But before the French Revolution, I was also a financer. I was a leading figure during the chemical revolution in the 18th century.
- The reason to why I was a leading figure, was because of my research in oxygen and it's reactivity. I was one of the people who discovered and named oxygen, and I also was one of the people who named the elements that are on the periodic table.
- In my days, natural philosophers still believed that matter was made of the four primary elements; fire, earth, water and air. But me and some other studied more into salts, which is when you combine an acid with a base (Alkalis). We had anticipated that if we would be able to learn or understand the properties of simple compounds, we would then be able to make theories of the properties of compounds.
- During 1770’s, I focused my research on calcination weight gains and losses. Calcination is when you heat a solid to a very high temperature to ‘purify’ them or oxidize them. When metals changed into powders (AKA calxs), which I observed in the rusting of iron, the calx would weigh more than the metal before it was changed. But when the calx was changed back into a metal, it would weigh less than it did originally.
- The tool I used should be on a document attached to the classroom post, along with the others tools.
