History
Name | Californium | Hydrogen |
History | The element Californium was discovered by S. G. Thompson,K. Street, Jr., A. Ghiorso and G. T. Seaborg(University of California, Berkeley) in year 1950 in United States. Californium derived its name from California, where the element was first synthesized. | The element Hydrogen was discovered by H. Cavendish in year 1766 in United Kingdom. Hydrogen derived its name from the Greek elements hydro- and -gen meaning 'water-forming'. |
