The Discovery Time of Hydrogen
When the discovery of hydrogen was discovered, the ancients did not know the details of hydrogen. Since modern times, science has gradually flourished, and all the sages have worked hard, and the mystery of hydrogen has begun to appear in the world.
At the beginning, the scholars worked hard in the field of chemistry, and the things of gas gradually became known. Many gas phenomena in the past have not been studied by many people.
Until the eighteenth century, there was a British chemist named Henry Cavendish. He was good at studying, and he carefully investigated the properties of various gases. At that time, it was known that metals interact with acids, and they often react with gases. Cavendish was made of zinc, iron metals and dilute sulfuric acid, dilute hydrochloric acid, etc. The gas produced is lighter than normal gas, and it is flammable. When burned, the flame is light blue. Cavendish tested its properties and observed that it generates water after burning, but it was not known at that time that this gas was hydrogen.
In 1776, Lavoisier was the chemical master of the law. He re-tested Cavendish's experiment and analyzed this gas in detail with precision. Lavoisier found that this gas burned in the air and produced water. It was the element of water, and its name was "Hydrogen", which originated from the Greek, meaning "water-forming". Since then, the true appearance of hydrogen has been known to the world.
The discovery of hydrogen, through the efforts of various sages, from the initial observation of the phenomenon to the detailed analysis and naming, was not achieved overnight. It is the process of scientific evolution and the basis for the advancement of chemistry in later generations.
