Fredrich Stromeyer was a chemical scientist. He discovered the element cadmium. He discovered it in 1817, while he was studying zinc compounds. He was born on August 2, 1776 in Germany, and died 59 years later on the 18th of August, 1835 also in Germany. He was known for his discovery of cadmium in 1817, and he was influenced most by Leopold Gmelin. And there is your answer. Enjoy!

Date of discovery the cadmium element?

The bivalent transition metal cadmium was discovered in 1817 by the German chemist Friedrich Strohmeyer. The metal melts at a relatively low (321oC) temperature compared to other metals, and it is not found in its pure form in nature. A lot of cadmium is recovered as a byproduct from the refining of zinc (mostly zinc sulfide ores), and, to a lesser degree, lead and copper. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on cadmium.


How did Fredrich Wohler discover beryllium?

Fredrich Wohler did not discover beryllium, but rather the element beryllium was discovered by French chemist Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin in 1798. Wohler is best known for his synthesis of urea from ammonium cyanate in 1828.


How did Fredrich Wohler prove that a life force is not needed to make organic compounds?

Friedrich Wohler proved that a life force is not needed to make organic compounds by synthesizing urea from inorganic compounds in 1828. This experiment demonstrated that organic compounds, which were once thought to only arise from living organisms, could be created without the need for a vitalistic life force. This discovery challenged the idea of vitalism and paved the way for the field of organic chemistry.


Who invented of radon?

Radon was first discovered by Pierre and Marie Curie in 1899 in France. A year later Friedrich Dorn discovered it.


Why was Fredrich Mohs important?

He originally came up with the scale when classifying a private collection. He classified them by their physical characteristics rather than their chemical composition, using their relative hardness.
