Germany. Robert was the youngest of four sons,

he

was one of the most appreciated scientists of his generation. He was a great teacher, dedicated to his students. He liked to work quietly in his laboratory, continuing to improve his science with useful discoveries. He never married.

Bunsen

started studying in chemistry, and received his university degree at 19 years of age. After graduation, he traveled throughout Europe to study engineering, geology and chemistry. One of his first discoveries was in physiological chemistry when he discovered the iron oxide hydrate as a medicine for arsenic poisoning.

Bunsen's discoveries added to his scientific knowledge because he would make mistakes trying to invent or create something new and he would make mistakes and that will help him learn more about what he was trying to create.

Robert retired at the age of 78 and was

88 years old when he died on the 16th of August 1899,

Who found rubidium?

German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered rubidium in 1861 by the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff through flame spectroscopy. Flame spectroscopy involve taking the substance to be analzed, coating a wire in it, and holding the wire inside of the flame of a Bunsen Burner (guess who invented this! See above). The color of the flame is then recorded.


Who invented the chemical element cesium?
