History
Name | Phosphorus | Tellurium |
History | The element Phosphorus was discovered by H. Brand in year 1669 in Germany. Phosphorus derived its name from the Greek word phoosphoros, 'carrying light'. | The element Tellurium was discovered by F.-J.M. von Reichenstein in year 1782 in Romania. Tellurium derived its name from Latin tellus, meaning 'earth'. |
