Who discovered helium and where?
Per Teodor Cleve and NilsAbraham Langlet at Uppsala(Sweden) in 1895----Normal Lockyer had earlier (1865) discovered helium in the solar spectrum, as a yellow line close to those for sodium. For more information please see the wikipedia article about helium.
What element is named after greek word for sun?
Helium (He) was named from the greek word helios=sun. Helium was given that name because it was first discovered at the spectrum of the chromosphere of sun.
Was helium discovered in 1868?
Yes, and it was discovered (and later isolated) by separate, independent scientists. Helium was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre (Jules) Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India, in 1868. The same spectral emission lines were noted by the English astronomer Norman Lockyer, also in 1868, who proposed the name "helium," after Helios, the Sun God of Greek mythology. In 1895 Sir William Ramsay separated helium from air in the laboratory; the same year this experiment was repeated independently by Per Theodor Cleve and Nils Langlet in Sweden.
