History
History | The element Helium was discovered by P. Janssen and N. Lockyer in year 1868 in Sweden and United Kingdom. Helium derived its name from the Greek word helios, meaning 'sun'. | The element Bismuth was discovered by C.F. Geoffroy in year 1753 in one. Bismuth derived its name from German word, now obsolete. |
