History

NameAntimonyPolonium
HistoryThe element Antimony was discovered by Arabic alchemist in year ca. 800 AD in one. Antimony derived its name from the Greek anti, 'against', and monos, 'alone' (stibium in Latin).The element Polonium was discovered by P. and M. Curie in year 1898 in France. Polonium derived its name from Named after the home country of Marie Curie(Poland), who is also the discoverer of Radium.
