History
| Parameter | Silicon | Flerovium |
|---|---|---|
| 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 Flerovium was discovered by Yuri Oganessian et al.(JINRinDubna) in year 2004 in Russia. Flerovium derived its name from Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, part of JINR where the element was synthesized; itself named for Georgy Flyorov, physicist. |
