*ATOMIC #32*
.
(in mid-1885, at a mine near (‘freiberg’ / ‘saxony’), a new mineral was discovered and named argyrodite, because of its high silver content)
(the chemist ‘Clemens Winkler’ analyzed this new mineral, which proved to be a combination of ‘silver’, ‘sulfur’, and a new element)
(‘Winkler’ was able to isolate this new element and found it somewhat similar to ‘antimony’, in 1886)
(before ‘Winkler’ published his results on the new element, he decided that he would name his element neptunium, since the recent discovery of planet ‘Neptune’ in 1846 had been preceded by mathematical predictions of its existence)
(however, the name “neptunium” had already been given to another proposed chemical element (though not the element that today bears the name ‘neptunium’, which was discovered in 1940), so instead, ‘winkler’ named the new element germanium (from the Latin word, Germania, for ‘germany’) in honor of his homeland)
.
(‘argyrodite’ proved empirically to be Ag8GeS6)
