Lavoisier, a French chemist, established an experimentally useful definition of an element. He defined an element as a fundamental form of matter that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions.
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier contributed to the definition of an element by proposing that it is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. This definition laid the groundwork for modern chemistry’s understanding of elemental composition.
