ROBERT BOYLE

ROBERT BOYLE is a physicist and chemist. He was born in Munster, Ireland year 1627. But spent most of his life in England. He made experiment with air and volume, and find air pump.

His research about air and another gaseous enable formulating what is now we know as Boyle’s law in year 1662.

This law states that at certain temperature, Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. For example, of volume of gas is multiplied by two then its pressure remain half.

One of his important contribution for chemistry is his limitation about element as material that cannot be divided chemically. This becomes base of modern chemistry.
