he was researching the mine and found some ore and asked one of the miners what it was and they didn't have an idea so he mined it and named it uranium
Uranium was discovered in 1789 by German chemist Martin Klaproth, who extracted it from the mineral pitchblende. Klaproth named the new element after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered just a few years earlier.
Zirconium was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth (Germany) in 1789, studying the mineral zircon (zirconium silicate); Klaproth obtained also the zirconium dioxide . The metal zirconium was separated in 1824 by Berzelius.
Pitchblende, a radioactive mineral, was first discovered by Johann Gottfried Gahn and K. A. Hauy in 1789. It was later identified as a uranium-rich mineral by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789.
Uranium is taken from the planet Uranus. Uranus is from Classical Greece and refers to the sky. The nest two elements after uranium follows the planetarty series. viz. Neptunium ; Neptune ( The classical Roman god of the Sea). Plutonium ; Pluto ( The Roman god of the underwortld.).
Zirconium was discovered in 1789 by German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth.
Uranium was discovered in 1789 (as an oxide in the mineral pitchblende) by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, studying a mineral sample from Joachimow. The pure uranium was obtained in 1841 by Eugene Melchior Peligot.
In pitchblende from Joachimow (now in Czech Republic), 1789
Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789, as an oxide. In 1841 Eugene Melchior Peligot isolated uranium as pure metal.
Martin Klaproth was a chemist who had discovered the 92nd element, Uranium. ;) ♥

Martin Klaproth did not discover nuclear energy, he discovered the atoms uranium, zirconium, and cerium. The discovery of nuclear energy is credited to several people, including Albert Einstein and Marie Curie.
Uranium was discovered (as an oxide, in pitchblende) by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789.
Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth who named it after Uranus
Uranium was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, a German chemist, in the mineral pitchblende (a mix of uranium oxides) in 1789. Klaproth confused the oxide with the metal. In 1841 the French chemist Peligot isolated uranium as a pure metal element. Henry Becquerel (also a Frenchman) discovered the natural radioactivity of uranium in 1896.
Martin Heinrich Klaproth, in 1789.
In 1789 Martin Heinrich Klaproth discovered an uranium oxide. In 1841 Eugène-Melchior Péligot obtained the first pure uranium metal.
