    Berzelius is credited with discovering the chemical elements cerium and selenium and with being the first to isolate silicon, thorium, titanium and zirconium. Berzelius discovered cerium in 1803 [29] and selenium in 1817. [30] Berzelius also discovered how to isolate silicon in 1824, [31] and thorium in 1824.

    Perey discovered it as a decay product of 227 Ac. [178] Francium was the last element to be discovered in nature, rather than synthesized in the lab, although four of the "synthetic" elements that were discovered later (plutonium, neptunium, astatine, and promethium) were eventually found in trace amounts in nature as well.
