Abstract

This year marks the bicentenary of the death of Scheele, one of the 18th century school of Swedish chemists whose researches contributed notably to understanding of the nature of minerals. In 1772, some two years before Priestley, he isolated oxygen, the key to the new chemistry. His investigations ranged widely and his work on organic acids entitles him to be regarded as a founder of organic chemistry.
