   Chemical Discoveries: Isolation of Hydrogen
   Cavendish's chemical work focused heavily on gases's, or "airs," a relatively new field in the 18th century. While various predecessors, including Robert Boyle, had noted the production of an inflammable air during metal-acid reactions, Cavendish was the first to systematically study this substance, which he termed "inflammable air" [^2].
