History
| Parameter | Oxygen | Neon |
|---|---|---|
| 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 Neon was discovered by W. Ramsay and W. Travers in year 1898 in United Kingdom. Neon derived its name from the Greek neos, meaning 'new'. |
