The First Person To Discover An Element
The first person to discover an element was Albert Ghiorso et. al. in 1952 the element's called Fermium. The Fermium element is only found in small quantities and so it's only used for scientific research that expands the knowledge of the periodic table. Fermium is a man-made element and was first discovered when in secret exploding a hydrogen bomb, it is categorised as an actinide metal.
Kia ora Arie,
ReplyDeleteAlbert Ghiorso was a great scientist who discovered 12 of the 118 chemical elements of the periodic table, he was the first to create a new element atom-by-atom which means he created the element one atom at a time by combining lighter elements together. These elements do not exist on Earth which is why they are considered man-made. The first person to discover an element can be argued as it is difficult to say when they were discovered as we have known about elements such as copper, gold and tin for a long time. Great post, keep up the good work!
