In 1814, Jacob Berzelius (1779 – 1848), a Swedish chemist, had developed a system
that is used till today to represent chemicals. The only difference is that superscript
numbers are used in the system while subscript numbers are used in modern chemical
formulae. For example, he used the formula H O for water while modern chemistry uses
2
the formula H O.
