Robert boyle (1627-1691)

Boyle was an Irish scientist. He founded the study of chemistry as a separate science and aimed to 'improve natural knowledge by experiment'.
He is known for his experiments on gases and was the first chemist to isolate and collect a gas.
He formulated Boyle's law:
A Volume of gas at a constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure applied to the gas.
He showed that air is absorbed in the process of combustion and that only one part of air, oxygen, is necessary for breathing.
