What is the contribution of Henry Cavendish?

Answer 1

Henry Cavendish was a British scientist born on October 10, 1731. He is credited with discovering hydrogen, which he called inflammable air.

Answer 2

Cavendish is noted for his discovery of hydrogen or what he called "inflammable air". He described the density of inflammable air, which formed water on combustion, in a 1766 paper "On Factitious Airs". Antoine Lavoisier later reproduced Cavendish's experiment and gave the element its name. Cavendish was distinguished for great accuracy and precision in researches into the composition of atmospheric air, the properties of different gases, the synthesis of water, the law governing electrical attraction and repulsion, a mechanical theory of heat, and calculations of the density (and hence the weight) of the Earth. His experiment to weigh the Earth has come to be known as the Cavendish experiment.

Answer 3

Henry Cavendish discovered Hydrogen also know as inflammable air and he determined the density of the Earth.

Answer 4

Because he discovered the first element the hydrogen

Answer 5

In England
