History

NameLithiumNeon
HistoryThe element Lithium was discovered by A. Arfwedson in year 1817 in Sweden. Lithium derived its name the Greek word lithos, meaning 'stone'.The element Neon was discovered by W. Ramsay and W. Travers in year 1898 in United Kingdom. Neon derived its name from the Greek neos, meaning 'new'.
