Uncharted, Unexplored, and Unexplained: Antoine Lavoisier

Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was a statesman, businessman, economist, and a social reformer who accomplished many things in each of these roles. However, it is for his work as a chemist that he is best remembered. Lavoisier uncovered the significance of hydrogen and oxygen. And the contributions he made to the metric system and chemical nomenclature continue to help scientists to this day.
