Henry Cavendish
Henry Cavendish (October 10, 1731 - February 24, 1810) was a British scientist.
Discovery of hydrogen
He is generally credited with having discovered hydrogen, since he had described the density of 'inflammable air', which formed water on combustion, in a paper "On Factitious Airs" that appeared in 1766. Antoine Lavoisier later reproduced his experiment and gave the element its name.
