Silver is found in the Earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form ("native silver"), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. Most silver is produced as a byproduct of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining. Silver is a naturally occurring element.
[169] [170] Hafnium was the last stable element to be discovered (noting however the difficulties regarding the discovery of rhenium). 43 Technetium: 1937 C. Perrier and E. Segrè: 1937 C. Perrier & E. Segrè The two discovered a new element in a molybdenum sample that was used in a cyclotron, the first element to be discovered by synthesis. It ...
It was recognised as an element by Guyton de Morveau, Lavoisier, Berthollet, and Fourcroy in 1787. [6] The earliest gold artifacts were discovered at the site of Wadi Qana in the Levant. [13] Silver is estimated to have been discovered in Asia Minor shortly after copper and gold. [14] There is evidence that iron was known from before 5000 BC. [15]
Johan Gadolin (5 June 1760 – 15 August 1852) [1] was a Finnish chemist, physicist and mineralogist.Gadolin discovered a "new earth" containing the first rare-earth compound yttrium, which was later determined to be a chemical element.
Alfred "Fred" La Rose, also known as "Fred Rose" and "Frederick LaRose" [1] (c. 1870 - September 1940), [2] was a blacksmith from Quebec who discovered silver on September 15, 1903 at the future site of Cobalt, Ontario.
Klaproth independently discovered cerium (1803), a rare earth element, around the same time as Jöns Jacob Berzelius and Wilhelm Hisinger, in the winter of 1803. [17] William Gregor of Cornwall was the first to identify the element titanium in 1791, correctly concluding that he had found a new element in the ore ilmenite from the Menachan ...

Brand kept his discovery secret, as alchemists of the time did, and worked with the phosphorus trying unsuccessfully to use it to produce gold. His recipe was: [5] Let urine stand for days until it gives off a pungent smell. [4] (This step was not necessary, as later scientists discovered that fresh urine yielded the same amount of phosphorus). [6]
