History
History | The element Antimony was discovered by Arabic alchemist in year ca. 800 AD in one. Antimony derived its name from the Greek anti, 'against', and monos, 'alone' (stibium in Latin). | The element Phosphorus was discovered by H. Brand in year 1669 in Germany. Phosphorus derived its name from the Greek word phoosphoros, 'carrying light'. |
