Who invented the vanadium?

Answer 1

Vanadium was not "invented", it was discovered by Nils Sefström in 1830. There is a disputed claim that it was discovered by Andrés del Rio in 1801 and identified incorrectly. Vanadium occurs naturally in Carnotite & Vanadinite and many other mineral deposits.

Answer 2

Nobody invented Vanadium it is an element but according to Wikipedia (and I quote directly)... Andres Manuel del Rio discovered vanadium in 1801 by analyzing the mineral vanadinite, and named it erythronium. Four years later, however, he was convinced by other scientists that erythronium was identical to chromium. The element was rediscovered in 1831 by Nils Gabriel Sefstrom, who named it vanadium after the Norse goddess of beauty and fertility, Vanadis (Freya). Both names were attributed to the wide range of colors found in vanadium compounds. See also related links.
