History
| History | The element Lead was discovered by Africans in year 7000 BCE. Lead derived its name from English word (plumbum in Latin). | The element Xenon was discovered by W. Ramsay and W. Travers in year 1898 in United Kingdom. Xenon derived its name from the Greek xenos, meaning 'strange'. |
