Boyle observed that all acids turned a particular vegetable indicator from blue to red and all alkalis turned the indicator green. Boyle never married-very shy man-really religiious-until 41 he lived with his sister.in 1668 he left oxford for london where he resided at his sisters house.in person Boyle was tall,slender, and pale. He suffered from bad health and low spirits his whole life. > > > >
 * __Notes__**
 * Born Jan. 1627, Country Waterford, Ireland. In a castle. 7th son and 14th child of Richard Boyle.
 * extremely bright child..latin greek and french as a child
 * 8-mother died. was immediately sent to Eton college in England. get away from situation. Yah he was That Smart.
 * became older and became fond of science, especially when Galileo died it inspired him to study astronomy and mechanics.
 * Inviisisble college-group of inquirers-took a huge part in that.
 * Later teamed up with ROBERT hooke and published 1st major scientififc report-The Spring and Weight of the Air.Experfiments with a vacumm pump
 * 1661 published best known conntribution to science-The Sceptical Chymist. presented 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. He appealed to chemists to experiment and asserted that experiments denied the limiting of chemical elements to only the classic four: earth, fire, air, and water. He also pleaded that chemistry should cease to be subservient to medicine or to alchemy, and rise to the status of a science.
 * Robert Boyle is also very well known for Boyles Law. He published it in 1662 and it is known world wide. The law is as stated-
 * "For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, //P// [pressure] and //V// [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases)."
 * 1663 invisible college became Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge
 * Named president of the council as soon as it started..moved down because it went against his religious beliefs. Boyle was an active Anglican. When he was 13 he had a religious coversion and was super religous ever since then. He even went on to write papers about his religion.
 * He performed assays on gold and silver, tested for copper with ammonia, tested for salt in water with silver nitrate, and devised a thirty item test for mineral water analysis.
 * In 1689 his health began to fail seriously and he stayed away from his public interactions, which stopped his communications to the Royal Society.
 * In 1691, he died on 31 December.
 * He died from paralysis.
 * In his will, Boyle endowed a series of Lectures which came to be known as the Boyle Lectures. After his death, his natural history collections passed as a gift to the Royal Society.
 * 1660 – New Experiments Physico-Mechanical: Touching the Spring of the Air and their Effects
 * 1661 - The Sceptical Chymist
 * 1663 – Considerations touching the Usefulness of Experimental Natural Philosophy (followed by a second part in 1671)
 * 1665 – New Experiments and Observations upon Cold
 * 1666 – Origin of Forms and Qualities according to the Corpuscular Philosophy
 * 1669 – A continuation of his work on the spring of air
 * 1670 – Demonstrated that a reduction in ambient pressure could lead to bubble formation in living tissue. This description of a viper in a vacuum was the first recorded description of decompression sickness.
 * 1670 – Tracts about the Cosmical Qualities of Things, the Temperature of the Subterraneal and Submarine Regions, the Bottom of the Sea, &c. with an Introduction to the History of Particular Qualities

> > > Robert Boyle
 * **Robert Boyle was born in Country Waterford, Ireland on January 25, 1627.
 * Was born in a castle and was the seventh son and fourteenth child of Richard Boyle.
 * Robert was an exceptionally bright child. He learned how to speak Latin, Greek, and French as a child.
 * When he was eight years old his mother died and he immediately sent to Eton college in England.
 * His father died in 1643.
 * As he grew older he became fond of science and when the great Galileo died it greatly inspired him to study astronomy and mechanics.
 * He took a prominent place in a group of inquirers known as the "Invisible College".
 * He later teamed up with Robert Hooke and published his first major scientific report titled //The Spring and Weight of the Air.//
 * The report described their experiments with a new vacuum pump.
 * In 1661 Boyle published his best known contribution to science, "The Sceptical Chymist". ([])
 * "The Sceptical Chymist"**
 * "The Sceptical Chymist"**

"For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, //P// [pressure] and //V// [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases)."
 * Robert Boyle is also very well known for Boyles Law. He published it in 1662 and it is known world wide. The law is as stated-
 * In 1663 the "Invisible College" became the __Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge__.
 * He was named a member of the council as soon as it started.
 * Robert was later elected the president of the council but later decline because the oath violated his religious commitments.
 * The first use of the term "chemical analysis" is attributed to Boyle who used it in the same sense that we understand it today and the way we use it today is an investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relations in making up the whole.
 * He performed assays on gold and silver, tested for copper with ammonia, tested for salt in water with silver nitrate, and devised a thirty item test for mineral water analysis.
 * Boyle observed that all acids turned a particular vegetable indicator from blue to red and all alkalis turned the indicator green.
 * Those are only some findings of his while still president of the Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge.
 * Robert never married anyone for a couple different reasons:


 * In 1668 he left Oxford for London where he resided at the house of his sister, Lady Ranelagh, in Pall Mall.
 * In person Boyle was tall, slender and of a pale face.
 * Throughout his life he suffered from feeble health and low spirits.
 * His writings are exceedingly detailed, and his style is clear and straightforward.
 * In 1689 his health, never very strong, began to fail seriously and he gradually started to back away from his public interactions, which stopped his communications to the Royal Society.
 * In 1691, he died on 31 December.
 * He died from paralysis.
 * In his will, Boyle endowed a series of Lectures which came to be known as the Boyle Lectures. After his death, his natural history collections passed as a bequest to the Royal Society.
