He reacted Potassium and Beryllium Chloride to isolate Beryllium.
Fredrich Wohler did not discover beryllium, but rather the element beryllium was discovered by French chemist Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin in 1798. Wohler is best known for his synthesis of urea from ammonium cyanate in 1828.
Friedrich Wohler was a German educator and chemist, he was the first scientist that performed the synthesis of urea, besides of working in the isolation of several chemical elements. He is remembered as one of the pioneers of organic chemistry.
Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin discovered in 1798 beryllium in emeralds; in 1828 Fiedrich Wohler and Antoine Bussy isolated the pure element.
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.
Beryllium metal was isolated in 1828 by Friedrich Wöhler at Berlin
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.
1869
"Wöhler is regarded as a pioneer in organic chemistry as a result of him (accidentally) synthesizing urea in the Wöhler synthesis in 1828." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_W%C3%B6hler
I do not know of "bryllium" perhaps you men "beryllium":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 potassiumand beryllium chloride. Beryllium's chemical similarity to aluminum was probably why beryllium was missed in previous searches.
Friedrich Ludwig Jahn invented Gymnastics.
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.
Kevin Wohler was born on October 13, 1967, in Kansas City, Missouri, USA.
