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 Tin was discovered by Unknown in year 3500 BCE. Tin derived its name from English word (stannum in Latin). |
