History
History |
The element Lithium was discovered by Johan August Arfwedson in year 1817 in Sweden. Lithium derived its name from the Greek word lithos, meaning 'stone' |
The element Protactinium was discovered by William Crookes in year 1913 in Germany and United Kingdom. Protactinium derived its name derived its name from from the Greek protos, 'first', and actinium, which is produced through the radioactive decay of protactinium |
