Short Description: "Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius (Swedish: [jœns ˈjɑːkɔb bæˈʂeːlɪɵs]; 20 August 1779 – 7 August 1848), known throughout his life as simply Jacob Berzelius, was a Swedish chemist. Berzelius is considered, along with Robert Boyle, John Dalton, and Antoine Lavoisier, to be one of the founders of modern chemistry.

Although Berzelius began his career as a physician, his enduring contributions were in the fields of electrochemistry, chemical bonding and stoichiometry. In particular, he is noted for his determination of atomic weights and his experiments that led to a more complete understanding of the principles of stoichiometry, which is the branch of chemistry pertaining to the quantitative relationships between elements in chemical compounds and chemical reactions and that these occur in definite proportions. This understanding came to be known as the "Law of Constant Proportions"." - (en.wikipedia.org 24.12.2019)
