Elements Of Chemistry by Antoine Lavoisier
"Elements of Chemistry" is a foundational text in the field of chemical science, providing a systematic and comprehensive overview of the principles of chemistry as understood in the late 18th century. The book is credited with establishing the basis for modern chemical nomenclature and methodology, introducing terms such as oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. It methodically categorizes substances into elements and compounds and describes chemical reactions in a way that laid the groundwork for chemistry to be studied as a quantitative science.
