Boyle, Robert (1627-1691)
Irish chemist and British physicist, sometimes called the father of chemistry, since his precision in defining chemical elements and chemical reactions was a major step in separating the science of chemistry from alchemy. He also espoused atomism. A founder member of the Royal Society of London, he was noted for his pneumatic experiments. Boyle's law is named after him.
