History
History | The element Lithium was discovered by A. Arfwedson in year 1817 in Sweden. Lithium derived its name the Greek word lithos, meaning 'stone'. | The element Radon was discovered by E. Rutherford and R. B. Owens in year 1899 in Germany. Radon derived its name From radium, as it was first detected as an emission from radium during radioactive decay. |
