| | | | Term Symbol | 1S 0 | | Discovery | The element was discovered in 1792 by the Scottish chemist and physician Thomas Charles Hope, who observed the brilliant red flame color of strontium. It was first isolated by the English chemist Humphry Davy (London, England) in 1808. | | Name Derived From | The name derives from Strontian, a town in Scotland. The mineral strontianite is found in mines in Strontian. |
