Martin Heinrich Klaproth, in 1789.
All the elements after Uranium (U).
In 1789 Martin Heinrich Klaproth, a German chemist, analyzed a new mineral and has confused this mineral (an oxide) with a new metal. The name uranium was proposed also by Klaproth, derived from the name of the planet Uranus discovered by Herschel in 1781. In 1841 a French scientist, Eugene Péligot isolated the pure metallic element uranium.

The name of the natural radioactive chemical element uranium is derived from the name of the planet Uranus. Uranium was discovered (as an oxide) by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789.
1. Henri Becquerel discovered in 1896 the natural radioactivity of uranium (not tiny particles). 2. The nuclear fission of uranium was discovered in december 1938 by Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann (Germans) and Lise Meitner (Jew).
The name uranium is derived from the name of the planet Uranus.The name was chosen by Klaproth in 1789 because recently the planet was discovered.
Ernest Rutherford is the name of the scientist who discovered that atoms have positively charged nuclei.
Uranium name is derived from the name of the planet Uranus. Uranus was discovered a few years before the discovery of Klaproth in 1789 - a mineral containing uranium.
Uranium's radioactive properties were discovered in 1896 by Antoine Becquerel.
