What is the Vital force theory? Why was it discarded?

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

Vital Force Theory is a theory made by the Scientist Berzelius in 1809 which assumed that organic compounds are only formed in living cells and it is impossible to prepare them in laboratories.

It was discarded because Friedrich Wohler showed that it was possible to obtain an organic compound(urea) in the laboratory.
