History
Name | Silicon | Barium |
History | The element Silicon was discovered by J. Berzelius in year 1823 in Sweden. Silicon derived its name from the Latin silex, 'flint' (originally silicium). | The element Barium was discovered by W. Scheele in year 1772 in United Kingdom. Barium derived its name from the Greek barys, meaning 'heavy'. |
