Facts
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 Copernicium was discovered by S. Hofmann et al.(GSI in Darmstadt) in year 1996 in Germany. Copernicium derived its name from Nicolaus Copernicus, astronomer. |
