Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier. Using then recent discoveries of hydrogen, carbon dioxide and most importantly, oxygen, he showed over a period of about five years that the prevailing phlogiston theory of combustion was exactly wrong. For his next trick, he went on to suggest that substances such as limestone were compounds of calcium, carbon and oxygen in definite proportions, though he did not know the exact proportions. The following 30 years were occupied by chemists working out most of the implications of his pioneering work. A pretty fair biography can be found here-

Another very important piece of work came from John Dalton who revived the atomic theory of matter though it had never completely died -
