Robert Boyle
i think that the old chemistry is called alchemy. and the one who study alchemy is called alchemist. almost all the alchemist believe that there is immortality.
The alchemists were the first chemists. They mixed chemicals, but also believed that magic would help them in their experiments and formulas. It didn't. But their chemical experiments eventually led to the science of chemistry.
Alchemy is not scientific, but chemistry is based on evidence. <-----Apex;)
The Forerunner of modern chemistry is often considered to be Robert Boyle. In the 17th century, he challenged the traditional theories of alchemy and emphasized the importance of experimentation and the scientific method. His work, particularly the publication of "The Sceptical Chymist," laid the foundations for the distinction between chemistry and alchemy and helped establish chemistry as a science based on empirical evidence. Boyle's contributions to gas laws and the nature of chemical elements further solidified his role in the development of modern chemistry.
Chemistry has evolved through various stages over time. These stages include alchemy, which focused on turning base metals into gold and the discovery of natural elements; the discovery of atomic theory and the periodic table; advances in organic chemistry and the development of chemical bonds and reactions; and modern advancements in materials science, nanochemistry, and biochemistry. Chemistry has developed through the contributions of scientists like Lavoisier, Mendeleev, and Curie, who laid the foundation for our current understanding of the field.
Alchemy WAS - but as new rules were discovered it either changed into chemistry OR it became "unscientific".
Alchemy is sometimes referred to as 'early chemistry'. It was Robert Boyle who, in the 17th century, changed alchemy to chemistry. Alchemy derives from an Arabic word meaning chemistry.
Primitive science is the background of early chemistry and alchemy.
Now a day, people study chemistry instead and alchemy was the ancient science as we know it.
Chemistry is a science because it is based on systematic observation, experimentation, and replicable results. Alchemy, on the other hand, relied heavily on mysticism, superstition, and the belief in metaphysical properties. Over time, alchemy evolved into the more methodical and evidence-based field of chemistry.
If you mean "was there a proto-science called alchemy, that later developed into the science of chemistry" ... then yes. If you mean "did people studying alchemy make some valid discoveries that improved our understanding of the physical world" ... also yes. If you mean "do things like universal solvents and the philosopher's stone that lets you turn lead into gold exist" ... definitely not.
Alchemy was the branch of science that preceded chemistry. Alchemy focused on transforming base metals into gold, finding the elixir of life, and achieving spiritual enlightenment. It laid the groundwork for the development of modern chemistry.
Alchemy was a pseudo-science that eventually evolved into modern Chemistry, which was simply found and proven to be more right.

Alchemy is just early science. There is nothing intrinsically evil about learning by doing.
Any magic exist in science; magic is a characteristic of pseudoscience and religion.
Chemistry is the science and study of elements and their reactions with each other. The word stems from alchemy, the study of turning base metals into metals of higher value. Alchemy was seen as a type of magic, but people later realized that it was a science. It is a study of anything in this world.By this subject we can explain anything in earth.
