it isnt easy its boring
Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen by heating mercuric oxide, which released a gas that could reignite a glowing splint. He called this gas "dephlogisticated air," which we now know as oxygen.
Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen in 1774. He isolated the gas during an experiment with mercury oxide and found that it supported combustion and helped in respiration. His discovery of oxygen revolutionized the understanding of gases and their role in chemical reactions.
Oxygen.
idk i think it waz named by gorgi longe Actually there were three people who were credited for it and they didn't invent it either, they just discovered the theory and proved it. Carl Scheele from Sweden Antoine Lavoisier from France, and John Priestly from England. Carl Scheele was the first to experiment with it, Priestly was the first to publish it (as "Dephlogisticated air") but Lavoisier was the first one to actually understand it (And name it Oxygen)
The discovery that oxygen is essential for burning was made by the English scientist Joseph Priestley in the 1770s. He conducted experiments where he found that a substance that he called "dephlogisticated air" (now known as oxygen) was required for candles to burn.

dephlogisticated air is oxygen gas; - so called by Dr. Priestly and others of his time.

In 1774 Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen. He conducted several experiments and one of them showed that plants release oxygen into the air.
Joseph Priestley, through experiments with gases, demonstrated that "dephlogisticated air" (what we now know as oxygen) was distinct from "fixed air" (carbon dioxide) by observing their different properties. He showed that dephlogisticated air supported combustion and respiration, while fixed air did not. Additionally, he found that dephlogisticated air produced a brighter flame and was absorbed by substances like rusting iron, which further distinguished it from fixed air. This helped lay the groundwork for understanding the composition of air and the nature of gases.
Joseph Priestly
Joseph Priestley was the man who first discovered oxygen, or as he called it "dephlogisticated air", back in the 18th Century
It derives from the French 'principe oxygene' which means 'acidifying principle'. The name was given because at the time it was thought that oxygen had to be present in an acid. The word was suggested by Antoine Lavoisier, the 'father of chemistry', though it was first isolated by Joseph Priestley. Priestly had called it 'dephlogisticated air' so I for one am very grateful to Lavoisier.
use your brain
Who discovered that air was more than just empty space Joseph Priestly spelled Joseph Priestley to whoever was the idiot who gave the incorrectly spelled first answer
No one knows
Oxygen.
