Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), an English scientist who discovered the component gas of the atmosphere subsequently named oxygen by the French chemist, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), whose learning of Priestley experiments critically influenced the future course of Lavoisier's career as a chemist that led to a revolution in the principles of chemistry, the beginnings of modern chemistry, a new understanding of chemical science that enabled the Englishman, John Dalton (1766-1844), to formulate a chemical atomic theory, the bedrock of modern chemistry.[1][Note 1]
