History
Name | Oxygen | Lithium |
History | The element Oxygen was discovered by W. Scheele in year 1771 in Sweden and United Kingdom. Oxygen derived its name from the Greek word oxy-, both 'sharp' and 'acid', and -gen, meaning 'acid-forming'. | The element Lithium was discovered by A. Arfwedson in year 1817 in Sweden. Lithium derived its name the Greek word lithos, meaning 'stone'. |
