History
History | The element Nitrogen was discovered by D. Rutherford in year 1772 in United Kingdom. Nitrogen derived its name from the Greek word nitron and '-gen' meaning 'niter-forming'. | The element Platinum was discovered by A. de Ulloa in year 1748 in Peru. Platinum derived its name from the Spanish platina, meaning 'little silver'. |
