History
Name | Boron | Xenon |
History | The element Boron was discovered by L. Gay-Lussac and L.J. Thénard in year 1808 in France and United Kingdom. Boron derived its name from borax, a mineral. | The element Xenon was discovered by W. Ramsay and W. Travers in year 1898 in United Kingdom. Xenon derived its name from the Greek xenos, meaning 'strange'. |
