History
| Name | Lead | Promethium |
| History | The element Lead was discovered by Africans in year 7000 BCE. Lead derived its name from English word (plumbum in Latin). | The element Promethium was discovered by S. Wu,E.G. Segrè and H. Bethe in year 1942 in United States. Promethium derived its name from Prometheus of Greek mythology who stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humans. |
