chemist who contributed towards the discovery of oxygen?
carl wilhelm scheele
in 1773, swedish chemist carl wilhelm scheele discovered oxygen, which he called "fire air", but did not immediately publish his achievement. in 1774, english chemist joseph priestley independently isolated oxygen in its gaseous state, calling it "dephlogisticated air", and published his work before scheele. during his lifetime, priestley's considerable scientific reputation rested on his invention of soda water, his writings on electricity, and his discovery of several "airs" (gases), the most famous being what priestley dubbed "dephlogisticated air" (oxygen). however, priestley's determination to defend phlogiston theory and to reject what would become the chemical revolution eventually left him isolated within the scientific community.
