Sir Humphry Davy died of apoplexy (a type of stroke) on May 29, 1829, in Geneva, Switzerland. He is considered one of the most influential British scientists of the 19th century, known for his discoveries in chemistry, particularly his work with electrochemistry.
Magnesium was first isolated by Sir Humphry Davy in 1808. He conducted an experiment using a mixture of magnesia (magnesium oxide) and mercuric oxide, and through electrolysis, he was able to isolate magnesium for the first time.
