Show Explanation
Explanation
Méthode de nomenclature chimique was published in 1787 through the work of Guyton de Morveau, Lavoisier, Berthollet and Fourcroy. It introduced a systematic composition-based approach to chemical names. This is distinct from Lavoisier’s 1789 Elements of Chemistry, and the historical system has since been developed and revised.
