In 1808, the metal discovered was potassium. It was isolated by the British chemist Sir Humphry Davy through the process of electrolysis, which involved passing an electric current through molten potassium hydroxide. This marked a significant advancement in the understanding of alkali metals and their properties. Potassium is essential for various biological functions and is widely used in fertilizers and other applications.

Calcium was known to be a component in lime during Roman times, but was first separated from it in 1808 by Sir Humphrey Davy via electrolysis.
Calcium was first isolated by Sir Humphry Davy in 1808 in London. In a lecture to the Royal Society in June 1808, Davy describes his first experiments that year, which produced tiny amounts of metal, at best.
It was discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808. Calcium was known and used in various compounds from as early as Roman times, but the element itself was not actually isolated until 1808.

In 1808 it was shown that this substance was not an element. It starts with L and ends in e, so it cant be Barium.
