Oxygen was first discovered by Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1772 by heating mercuric oxide and nitrate salts.
(But don't try this at home: both very toxic experiments).
Also there was a main quarrel about the 'first' claim between Priestly (VIII-1774) and Lavoisier (1774, later) and Scheele (letter in IX-1774, but found after his death)
Oxygen was discovered for the first time by a Swedish Chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1772.
Joseph Priestly, an English chemist, independently discovered oxygen in 1774 and published his findings the same year, three years before Scheele published his.
Antoine Lavoisier, a French chemist, also discovered oxygen in 1775, was the first to recognize it as an element, and coined its name "oxygen" - which comes from a Greek word that means "acid-former".
There is a historic dispute about who discovered oxygen. Most credit Priestly alone or both Priestly and Scheele.
Joseph Priestly published his findings first. However, it was Antoine Lavoisier who recognized it as an element.
Oxygen was discovered in 1774 by Joseph Priestly and Karl Scheele independently of each other.
Sir. Humpry Davy discovered oxygen as a seperate element.
