History

NameTinTechnetium
HistoryThe element Tin was discovered by Unknown in year 3500 BCE. Tin derived its name from English word (stannum in Latin).The element Technetium was discovered by C. Perrier and E. Segrè in year 1937 in Italy. Technetium derived its name from the Greek tekhnètos meaning 'artificial'.
