Chemistry has evolved over centuries with contributions from numerous scientists. It's not possible to pinpoint one founder. Early alchemists like Jabir ibn Hayyan (8th century) laid the groundwork, while Robert Boyle (17th century) is considered the 'Father of Modern Chemistry' for his work on the scientific method and gases. Antoine Lavoisier (18th century) revolutionized the field with his law of conservation of mass.
