Il fut presque le créateur de la chimie organique. Il introduisit en chimie les notions et les mots d'allotropie, de catalyse, d'isomérie et de protéine. Philosophe aussi bien qu'expérimentateur, il consolida la théorie atomistique ainsi que celle des proportions chimiques. Enfin, il adopta, pour expliquer les phénomènes, la célèbre théorie du dualisme électrochimique, et fit au moyen de cette théorie de nombreuses réformes dans la nomenclature et la classification. Il fut à lorigine d'une théorie électrochimique et d'une théorie sur les radicaux et en commença le développement. Berzelius fut lun des premiers à publier une table des masses moléculaires et atomiques dune exactitude satisfaisante.

By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity, and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.According to Söderbaum (Jac. Berzelius, 2, p.12) ""It was a giant work, one of the most importent in the history of chemistry, which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time, to be sure, but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour.""(J. Erik Jorpes ""Jac. Berzelius"", p.45).""In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds, thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances, and thus was enabled to draw up (in 1826) a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one.""(Leicester & Klicktein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"", p. 258).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1810-20 C.

Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 (see the note on p. 359 in the first paper), it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community.
