Scientific facts are essential for understanding nature.

Lavoisier showed breathing is similar to burning, producing heat and carbon dioxide.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed; it only changes forms.

The gas later known as nitrogen, named by Lavoisier as 'without life'.

A lit candle extinguishes in a sealed jar due to oxygen consumption.

Lavoisier's work with hydrogen and oxygen led to water formation from reactions involving heat as a catalyst.

Priestley discovered gases including oxygen, which he called 'dephlogisticated air'.

Priestley noted that carbon dioxide bubbles from brewing, showing gas interactions.

Using heated mercury oxide, it was determined that air contains oxygen over 12 days.

Priestley rejected Lavoisier's phlogiston theory despite influence from his discoveries.

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier was born in 1743 in Paris.

An outdated theory that substances lose mass during combustion, disproven by Lavoisier.

Lavoisier learned about oxygen, termed 'dephlogisticated air', in 1774 from Priestley.

Lavoisier discovered that water is made of two gases, coining the term 'hydrogen' in 1783.

In 1789, Lavoisier published the first periodic table of elements in his chemistry treatise.
