History
History |
The element Protactinium was discovered by William Crookes in year 1913 in Germany and United Kingdom. Protactinium derived its name from from the Greek protos, 'first', and actinium, which is produced through the radioactive decay of protactinium |
The element Nobelium was discovered by Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in year 1958 in Sweden and United States. Nobelium derived its name derived its name from from Alfred Nobel, chemist, engineer, innovator, and armaments manufacturer |
