Question

Who is the father of chemistry \[?\] Why \[?\]

Answer 1

Hint: First we know chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Matter can be described in terms of physical properties and chemical properties.
 The five main types of chemistry branches are organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry.

Complete answer:
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was a father of chemistry.
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier \[\left( {1743 - 1794} \right)\] was a French chemist who is most famous for changing chemistry from a qualitative to a quantitative science and for discovering the role of oxygen in combustion. Before Lavoisier, the dominant theory to explain combustion was the phlogiston theory, which was ultimately disproved by his work. Lavoisier made many other important contributions to the field of chemistry which include establishing water as a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. He discovered that sulphur is an element and that diamond is a form of carbon. He established the law of conservation of mass in chemistry and co-authoring the first modern system of chemical nomenclature. He developed the modern system of naming chemical substances. Lavoisier had a huge influence on the history of chemistry and he is renowned as the “father of modern chemistry”.

Note:
Note that the Mother of Modern Chemistry was Marie Anne Paulze Lavoisier. Friedrich Wohler is considered as the father of organic chemistry. Alfred Werner is considered as the father of inorganic chemistry. Carl Alexander Neuberg the father of biochemistry. Bires Chandra Guha is considered as the father of modern biochemistry in India.
