Priestley gave the atomic theory.
Answers
Answer:
Priestley called his discovery "dephlogisticated air" on the theory that it supported combustion so well because it had no phlogiston in it, and hence could absorb the maximum amount during burning.
Answer:
The answer is given below :-
Explanation:
Atmospheric sciences offered the “breakthrough” data that was needed to determine how atoms work. Gases proved the easiest to isolate and observe. In the 1700’s experiments by English chemists Joseph Black (1728-1799) (discovered carbon dioxide), Henry Cavendish (1731-1810) (discovered hydrogen), and Joseph Priestly (1733-1804)(discovered oxygen) isolated several gases and showed how they could be produced from other substances. All of these early chemists began to scientifically discuss the substances they were isolating. Discussions lead to new experiments, which guided the way to further discoveries.
