History
| Parameter | Tungsten | Francium |
|---|---|---|
| History | The element Tungsten was discovered by W. Scheele in year 1781 in Spain. Tungsten derived its name from the Swedish tung sten, 'heavy stone' (W is wolfram, the old name of the tungsten mineral wolframite). | The element Francium was discovered by M. Perey in year 1939 in France. Francium derived its name from Francia, the New Latin name for France. |
