Chymist

At the same time, two milestones in the history of chemistry will be honoured this year: the 100th anniversary of the award of the 1911 Nobel prize for chemistry to Madam Curie for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium, and the 350th anniversary of the publication of Robert Boyle's The Sceptical Chymist, the treatise that put the discipline on a proper, modern scientific footing.

In this context he defined the term element in Sceptical Chymist (1661) as "... certain primitive and simple, or perfectly unmingled bodies; which not being made of any other bodies, or of one another, are the ingredients of which all those called perfectly mixt bodies are immediately compounded, and into which they are ultimately resolved."

Boyle, Robert 2008

Boyle published his Sceptical Chymist, which contained a vigorous criticism of the Aristotelian theory of elements and the Paracelsian theory of principles.

Similarly Robert Boyle placed special emphasis on the problem of the elements in his criticism of the Aristotelians and the Paracelsian chemists in the Sceptical Chymist (1661).
