History
Parameter | Oxygen | Beryllium |
---|---|---|
History | The element Oxygen was discovered by W. Scheele in year 1771 in Sweden and United Kingdom. Oxygen derived its name from the Greek word oxy-, both 'sharp' and 'acid', and -gen, meaning 'acid-forming'. | The element Beryllium was discovered by N. Vauquelin in year 1798 in France. Beryllium derived its name from beryl, a mineral. |
