In 1766 Henry Cavendish discovered the element hydrogen, which he called inflammable air, by observing the release of hydrogen gas when various metals were treated with strong acids. He knew that hydrogen was the same inflammable air that had been studied for more than 100 years by Robert Boyle and other scientists, but without anyone knowing that it was a actually an element. Further experiments resulted in his finding that water consists of a combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in definite proportions.
In the 16th century the wellknown alchemist Paracelsus knew something about this gas.
In 1671, Robert Boyle discovered and described the reaction between iron filings and dilute acids, which results in the production of a gas.
In 1766 Henry Cavendish recognized this gas as a different substance; he named this gas "flammable air".
The name hydrogen is from Antoine Lavoisier, in 1783.
Now Cavendish is credited with the discovery of hydrogen but the history is long and complicated.
For the history of hydrogen see the link below.
1766, a young scientist named Henry Cavendish discovered it.
No. Several elements such as sulfur, iron, tin, and gold have been known for thousands of years.
Hydrogen,, on the other hand, was not discovered until 1766.
French chemist Antonie Lavoisier named the element hydrogen

Henry Cavendish, a young English chemist, discovered that hydrogen is a separate substance in 1766. It was also discovered that hydrogen is found naturally in the atmosphere, and when hydrogen is burned it produces water vapor
