Silicon was discovered (officially) in 1824 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius (probably because he also purified the product by repeatedly washing it.). BUT, also note: 1. In 1787, silicon was first identified by Antoine Lavoisier. 2. In 1811, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard probably prepared impure amorphous silicon through the heating of potassium with silicon tetrafluoride. Then in 1824, Berzelius used approximately the same method as Lussac.
Silicon is from Latin word for flint, silex: silicium, is a chemical element, which has the symbol Si and atomic number 14. Silicium is abundant in the 'earth crust minerals' called silicates, flint is only one but important example.
Boron was known about as early as AD300 and was used by many cultures over the centuries, the exact date of the discovery is unknown but Jons Jakob Berzelius was the first to identify Boron as an element in 1824.
Pure silicon cannot be found in nature but is found in a number of compounds. These compounds are usually oxides, and silicon oxides are found as sand and as silicate minerals. Silicon makes up about a quarter of the earth's crust, so there is plenty of it to go around. Silicon is a nonmetallic element and very abundant in nature. Its atomic number is 14. Silicon was discovered by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist, in 1824 by heating chips of potassium in a silica container and then carefully washing away the residual by-products. Silicon is the seventh most abundant element in the universe. Today, silicon is produced by heating sand (SiO2) with carbon to temperatures approaching 2200°C. Silicon is also is A non-metallic element occurring extensively in the earth's crust in silica and silicates, having both an amorphous and a crystalline allotrope, and used doped or in combination with other materials in glass, semi-conducting devices, concrete, brick, refractories, pottery, and silicones. There is a Latin word in silicon called 'silex' meaning flint in Latin. Silicon is classified as a "Metalloid" element and is located in Groups 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the Periodic Table. An element classified as a Metalloid has properties of both metals and non-metals. Some are semi-conductors and can carry an electrical charge making them useful in calculators and computers. Silicon was first identified by Antoine Lavoisier in 1787. Re-discovered by Jons Berzelius in 1823. The high-tech region of Silicon Valley, California, is named after this element. Silicon is presented in the sun and stars. Silicon forms other useful compounds. Silicon carbide (SiC) is nearly as hard as diamond and is used as an abrasive. Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3), also known as water glass, is used in the production of soaps, adhesives and as an egg preservative. Silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) is used to create smoke screens. Silicon is also an important ingredient in silicone, a class of material that is used for such things as lubricants, polishing agents, electrical insulators and medical implants.

The element Thorium (Th), at. no. 90, is in the Actinoid Series, and was discoveredby Jons Jacob Berzelius in 1828.

Jons Jacob Berzelius a swedish chemist
Silicon was first isolated in 1824 by JΓΆns Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. Its existence was known before then, but he was the first to isolate it as a pure element.
Silicon was made by Jons Jacob Berdett in 1824

Jons Jacob Berzelius was a Swedish chemist known for his work in developing the modern system of chemical symbols and notation. He is often referred to as one of the fathers of modern chemistry for his contributions to the field.
