    Chemistry is the science that studies the structure and composition of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. It has several branches including inorganic, organic, biochemistry, physical, and analytical chemistry. Chemistry has many important uses in fields like agriculture, medicine, the military, computer technology, sports, education, and electronics. The study of chemistry began with early civilizations and has evolved over time with contributions from scientists like Robert Boyle, Amedeo Avogadro, Joseph Priestley, Henry Cavendish, and Antoine Lavoisier, considered the father of modern chemistry.

    He was considered as the father of
    modern chemistry.
    He also formulate the Law of
    Conservation of Mass: matter
    cannot be created nor destroyed. The
    total mass of the reactants in a
    chemical reaction will be always
    equal to the total mass of the
    reactants after the chemical

    reaction.

    also doing experiment on chemical
    reactions that most of substances are
    composed of two or more elements.
    He also observed that compounds also
    contained the same percentage of
    elements regardless of where these
    compounds came from or whoever
    prepared it.
    Called the Law of Definite Proportion JOHN LOUIS PROUST
    Law of Definite Proportion
    It states that all compounds contain the same element in
    definite proportion and in no other combination.
