Best Answer

Hydrogen is the lightest element on the Periodic Table. Henry Cavendish collected Hydrogen by placing Zinc in an acid and originally called it inflammable air. However, Paracelsus of Switzerland had noticed 250 years before that Iron placed in acid gave off a gas and that gas would burn: but did not study it further.
