	History of chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The history of chemistry may be said to begin with the distinction of chemistry from alchemy by Robert Boyle in his work The Sceptical Chymist (1661).
		The range of chemistry was thus restricted to the nature of matter around us in conditions which are not too far from standard conditions for temperature and pressure and in cases where the exposure to radiation is not too different from the natural microwave, visible or UV radiations on Earth.
		Chemistry was therefore re-defined as the science of matter that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and with the transformations that they undergo.

	History of Chemistry at the University of Graz
		Chemistry had developed in the beginning of the 19th century from a trade and an auxiliary branch of medicine, biology and pharmacy to an individual science.
		In this era Richard MALY (born 1839 in Graz, +1891 in Prag, student of Gottlieb) got in 1864 the venia legendi for chemistry, although his studies again were performed at the faculty of medicine and at the university of technology.
		After Wertheim's early death (probably caused because the apartments of the chemistry head were in neighbourship to his laboratory, so that he was exhibited to all vapors and gases of poisonous alkaloids of his research), again Johann GOTTLIEB was temporary head of the chemistry institute; Richard MALY was assistant and did the practical work.

	The History of Chemistry
		This paper conducts a study of the history of Chemistry from the Phlogiston Theory to the Periodic table.
		Despite the discovery of oxygen the phlogiston theory continued to be accepted until Lavoisier created a revolution in chemistry which destroyed the phlogiston theory, eliminated the four elements of antiquity and replaced them with the modern concept of elements as substances that could not be broken down and which were the fundamental substances of chemistry.
		Before the 19th century most work in chemistry was qualitative and concerned with the properties of substances and the courses of particular chemical reactions.

		The history and chemistry of the Murexide dye
		Beginning with chemistry's polymorphous beginnings, featuring many independent discoveries all over the globe, the narrative then moves to a discussion of chemistry's niche in the eighteenth-century notion of Natural Philosophy and on to its nineteenth-century days as an exemplar of science as a means of reaching positive knowledge.
		A History of Chemistry treats chemistry as a study whose subject matter, the nature and behavior of qualitatively different materials, remains constant, while the methods and disciplinary boundaries of the science constantly shift.
