Robert Boyle
Robert Boyle FRS[5] (/bɔɪl/; 25 January 1627 – 31
December 1691) was an Anglo-Irish[6] natural
philosopher, chemist, physicist, and inventor. Boyle is
largely regarded today as the first modern chemist, and
therefore one of the founders of modern chemistry, and
one of the pioneers of modern experimental scientific
method. He is best known for Boyle's law,[7] which
describes the inversely proportional relationship between
the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the
temperature is kept constant within a closed system.[8]
Among his works, The Sceptical Chymist is seen as a
cornerstone book in the field of chemistry. He was a
devout and pious Anglican and is noted for his writings in
theology.
