Alum (Aluminum potassium sulfate) is a compound known to the ancient Greeks and Romans for its medical and industrial uses. In the 1700's chemists suspected that there was an unknown element hidden in alum.
Then the metal was isolated in the 1800's the name aluminum was proposed (from the Latin
alumen: alum). The name for the metal is aluminum in the United States and aluminum in most of the rest of the world.
Coined by Sir Humphy Davy, British chemist, who named it alumium from alumina (a common mineral) and then aluminum. The latter word stuck in US English, however, shortly after the word was coined, British chemists changed the spelling to aluminium so as to be cognate with other elements such as potassium and sodium. The last name stuck in the British English-speaking world, and is the preferred IUPAC spelling although the US variant is permitted.
The name "aluminum" originates from the mineral alum, in which the compound was initially found. The term was later modified to "aluminium" based on the naming conventions of other elements, and eventually simplified to "aluminum" in the United States.
Italy, I believe
No, Nicole is not a traditionally British name. It is of French origin.
It is of Latin Origin and means "lily" or "flower"
The name Gian is of Italian origin and is a variant of the name Giovanni, which ultimately comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "God is gracious."
Bauxite ore. The name "aluminum" comes from the compound "Alum", which is hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate. Alum is available as a white powder.
The origin of aluminum is 1913: coined by F. Soddy, from iso- 'equal' + Greek topos 'place'.
Aluminum = Non-luminous. Bauxite is the ore used in the manufacture of aluminium. The word was coined by the English Chemist Sir Humphrey Davy in 1812
The origin of the name is from the Latin word 'alumen'. Discovered in 1825 in Copenhagen, Denmark by Hans Christrian Orsted. It is the third most common of all elements.
