1. Structure and characteristics of the molecule
Carbon dioxide was discovered in 1638 by the Belgian physician Jan Baptist Van Helmont. Around 1750, it was studied by Joseph Black, a Scottish chemist and physicist. Joseph Priestley, an English clergyman, isolated carbon dioxide in 1766, and it was in 1776 that French chemist Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier demonstrated the production of CO 2 during the combustion of carbon in the presence of oxygen.
