Iodine (I) 53 ἰώδης (iodes) Greek via French "violet" descriptive (colour) Named after the Greek ἰώδης (iodes), which means "violet", because of the colour of the gaseous phase. This word was adapted as the French iode, which is the source of the English "iodine". [42] Xenon (Xe) 54 ξένος (xenos) Greek "foreign"
Courtois was acknowledged by Humphry Davy and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac as the true discoverer of iodine. In 1822, he began manufacturing high-quality iodine and its salts. In 1831, he was awarded 6,000 francs as part of the Montyon Prize by L'Academie royale des sciences, for the medicinal value of the element. He struggled financially for the ...
Iodine: 1811 B. Courtois: 1811 B. Courtois Courtois discovered it in the ashes of seaweed. [117] The name iode was given in French by Gay-Lussac and published in 1813. [52] Davy gave it the English name iodine in 1814. [52] 3 Lithium: 1817 A. Arfwedson: 1821 W. T. Brande: Arfwedson, a student of Berzelius, discovered the alkali in petalite. [118]
[78] [79] [80] It was Gay-Lussac who suggested the name "iode", from the Greek word ιώδες (iodes) for violet (because of the color of iodine vapor). [76] [78] Ampère had given some of his sample to Humphry Davy. Davy did some experiments on the substance and noted its similarity to chlorine. [81]
He did this by calculating the Avogadro number using three different methods, all involving liquid phase systems. First, he used a gamboge soap-like emulsion, second by doing experimental work on Brownian motion , and third by confirming Einstein's theory of particle rotation in the liquid phase.
