Origins

The phlogiston theory is a superseded scientific theory that postulated the existence of a fire-like element called 'phlogiston' contained within combustible bodies and released during combustion. The idea was first proposed in 1667 by Johann Joachim Becher and later put together more formally by Georg Ernst Stahl. The phlogiston theory attempted to explain chemical processes such as combustion and rusting, now collectively known as oxidation. It was challenged by the concomitant weight increase and was abandoned before the end of the 18th century following experiments by Antoine Lavoisier and others. The phlogiston theory led to experiments which ultimately concluded with the discovery of oxygen.
