Explanation

Robert Boyle is widely regarded as the father of modern chemistry for his pioneering work on gas laws (Boyle's Law) and his advocacy of the scientific method in chemical research. He published 'The Sceptical Chymist' in 1661, which helped establish chemistry as a quantitative science. Kelvin (William Thomson) worked in thermodynamics, Archimedes was an ancient mathematician and physicist, and Aristotle was a philosopher whose natural philosophy predated modern chemistry.
