He discovered how to separate elements by using electrolysis. He also discovered he element Aluminium. He proved that oxgen could not be obtained from HCL solution. He invented the miners' safety lamp.
Calcium was known as early as the first century throughout Ancient Rome. However, calcium in its element form was not discovered until 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy.
Sir Humphry Davy and Jöns Jakob BerzeliusThe element Calcium was first discovered by Sir Humphry Davy, a British Chemist, in 1808, in England, through the electrolysis of a mixture of lime (CaO) and mercuric oxide (HgO).Calcium was known to the ancients, in the form of lime (calcium oxide, CaO). Sir Humphry Davy first isolated the element in 1808, by electrolyzing a mixture of lime and mercuric oxide (HgO).He was inspired by the experiments of Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, who had attempted the same thing, but failed to isolate the elemental calcium from the resulting compound.He named it calcium after the Latin word "calx" which is what the Romans called lime.
Sodium was discovered by Humphry Davy in 1807.
Sir Humphrey Davy did not discover carbon. It has been know of from antiquity.
Humphry Davy was born on December 17, 1778.

Sodium is not synthetic. It is a natural element.
Calcium was known to be a component in lime during Roman times, but was first separated from it in 1808 by Sir Humphrey Davy via electrolysis.
That would be Sir Humphry Davy in the year 1807
