Joseph Priestly- Combination of Gases
Joseph Priestly disproved the notion that air was an indivisible element, but actually a combination of gases. -
Jacques Charles- An Addition to Gas Laws
Jacques Charles continued Boyle's work with gases. He found that there is a direct relationship between temperature and pressure. For example: if the temperature in a balloon increases so will the pressure
