Robert+Boyle

====Robert Boyle was born on January 25, 1627 in Lismore Castle of Waterfored county Ireland. He was the seventh son and fourteenth child of Richard Boyle and Catherine Fenton. He was tutored in by a man named Robert Carew in Latin, Greek, and French around the age of eight. Boyle was a natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, alchemist, and inventor.==== ====He strongly believed that metals could be changed into other metals such as gold. Boyle is largely know as the first "Modern Chemist." He is best know for "Boyle's Law" which describes the relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a cooled system. Boyle wrote "The Spacial Chymist" which was published in London 1661. The Book explained Boyle's hypothesis that matter consisted of atoms and clusters of atoms in motion and that every phenomenon was the result of collisions of particles in motion. Boyle has been called the founder of modern c hemistry because of this book.==== ====Boyle's health was diminishing as he aged. Boyle died on December 31st 1691 from a paralysis. He was barried in the graveyards at St. Martin. He was remembered by his great contributions to modern chemistry and science form is book and his lectures.====
