Best Answer

Jons Jakob Berzelius discovered and classified boron as an element in 1824. It was first isolated by Sir Humphry Davy, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard in 1808. The first pure boron was produced by the American chemist W. Weintraub in 1909, although as usual, this is disputed by some researchers.
