Antoine Lavoisier is known as the "father of modern chemistry." He is credited with organizing elements and compounds, and he played a significant role in the development of the chemical nomenclature and the law of conservation of mass. While Dmitri Mendeleev is known for creating the periodic table and organizing elements into groups based on their properties, Lavoisier's foundational work in establishing chemistry as a science earns him the title of "father of modern chemistry."
