Beryllium was discovered in 1798 (as the oxide in beryl and emerald) by Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin. Friedrich Wöhler and Antoine -Alexandre Brutus Bussy independently isolated it in 1828 by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride.
Chromium was discoverd by Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin in 1797.
It is unknown who named it BerylliumFound this in wikipedia:The name beryllium comes (via Latin: Beryllus) from the Greek βήρυλλος, bērullos, beryl,"to become pale," in reference to the palesemiprecious gemstone beryl.
Louis Pasteur discovered fermentation in 1857
Beryllium is the fourth element on the Periodic Table with the symbol "Be". Beryllium is a steel-gray metal that is quite brittle at room temperature, and its chemical properties somewhat resemble those of aluminum. It does not occur free in nature. Beryllium is found in beryl and emerald, minerals that were known to the ancient Egyptians. Although it had long been suspected that the two minerals were similar, chemical confirmation of this did not occur until the late 18th century. Emerald is now known to be a green variety of beryl. Beryllium was discovered (1798) as the oxide by French chemist Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin in beryl and in emeralds and was isolated (1828) as the metal independently by German chemist Friedrich Wöhler and French chemist Antoine A.B. Bussy by the reduction of its chloride with potassium. Beryllium is widely distributed in Earth’s crust and is estimated to occur in Earth’s igneous rocks to the extent of 0.0002 percent. Its cosmic abundance is 20 on the scale in which silicon, the standard, is 1,000,000. The United States has about 60 percent of the world’s beryllium and is by far the largest producer of beryllium; other major producing countries include China, Mozambique, and Brazil.
Beryllium was discovered by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798
Beryllium was discovered by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798 as a component of beryl and in emeralds.
Nicolas Louis Vauquelin in 1789
Louis Nicolas Vauquelin discovered this element in 1798. More exact: Louis Nicholas Vauquelin Friedrich Wöhler Antoine -Alexandre Brutus Bussy 1798 1828 1828
French chemist Louis Nicolas Vauquelin discovered as an oxide in 1797. Louis Nicholas Vauquelin 1798 Friedrich Wöhler 1828 Antoine -Alexandre Brutus Bussy 1828
Beryllium was discovered by French chemist Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798. Vauquelin suggested the name glucinium, meaning "sweet tasting," for the element because the element and some of its compounds have a sweet taste. The name beryllium was adopted officially in 1957.
Beryllium was discovered in 1798 by Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin.
Beryllium was discovered by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798 as a component of beryl and in emeralds. Friedrich Wöhler and Antoine Bussy independently isolated the metal in 1828 by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride. Beryllium's chemical similarity to aluminium was probably why beryllium was missed in previous searches.
