CARL SCHEELE

Picture of Carl Scheele

Carl Wilhelm Scheele was a Swedish chemist. He was born in 1742 and died in 1786. He discovered oxygen as did Joseph Priestley. Credit for the discovery of nitrogen in the atmosphere is generally given to Carl Scheele, though it is more likely that Daniel Rutherford discovered it first.
