Nitric acid (HNO3) has been known to alchemists as aqua fortis (strong water). The discovery of this acid is credited to the Muslim polymath Jabir ibn Hayyan, who describes it some time around 800 AD.
Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac and Claude-Louis Berthollet determined the chemical composition of nitric acid in 1816, and links can be found below to check facts and learn more.
NO gas was INVENTED. Daniel Rutherford DISCOVERED nitrogen in that year.
Nitrogen is an element, not an invention. It was DISCOVERED by Daniel Rutherford.
Nitrogen was first discovered by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772 through experiments involving the removal of oxygen and carbon dioxide from air. He named the gas nitrogen because it was found to be the part of air that does not support combustion or life.
It was discovered in 1772 by a man named Daniel Rutherford

Nitrogen dioxide was first discovered by the German chemist Friedrich Wöhler in 1823.

Liquid nitrogen was first discovered by Scottish physicist James Dewar in 1898. Dewar was experimenting with the properties of gases at low temperatures when he noticed nitrogen turning into a liquid state.
Nitrogen tribromide was discovered in 1858 by the chemist Alfred Stock. It is synthesized by the reaction of ammonia with bromine.
Nitrogen-15 was discovered in 1950 by Albert O. Nier and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota. They separated nitrogen-15 from natural nitrogen using mass spectrometry.
