Jöns Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist, made significant contributions to electrochemistry, chemical bonding, and stoichiometry. He is recognized as one of the founders of modern chemistry, along with Boyle, Dalton, and Lavoisier. Berzelius’s work on atomic weights, stoichiometry principles, and the Law of Constant Proportions has had a lasting impact. He also improved methods of chemical analysis, distinguished between inorganic and organic compounds, discovered new elements, synthesized compounds, and advanced chemical formula notation.
