what about it?  You have it spelled wrong if you are asking about SULfide.\n\nMercury Sulfide is a chemical compound composed of the elements Mercury and Sulfur. It is represented by the chemical symbol HgS.\n\nMercury Sulfide occurs in two forms, most easily characterized by their color:\n\nThe red ore Cinnabar is the form in which mercury is most commonly found in nature. The pigment vermilion can be extracted from it. \nThe black ore is less common. It is used in pigments. \nThe CAS registry number is [[1344-48-5][1]].\n\nHgS is toxic due to the mercury content.

No record of who actually discovered it. It is several thousands of years old. It can be naturally extracted from Willow bark.

Most of the elements have been either discovered by scientists or created by scientists.  Only a choice few have been known since antiquity -- usually ones that are found in their elemental state in nature or are easy to isolate from compounds (usually ores).  These are iron, copper, tin, lead, silver, gold, and mercury.  \n\nSome of the elements were discovered by people you might not consider scientists.  For example, Albertus Magnus was the first to isolate arsenic.  He was a theologian and philosopher in the 13th century, but also researched alchemy, long before true "scientific" methods were established -- would you count arsenic as being discovered by a scientist?  It's kind of a gray area.

It is believed that Albertus Magnus obtained the element in 1250 A.D. who obtained it by heating soap together with orpiment (arsenic trisulphide, As2S3). But actually Arsenic has been known since ancient times. It is so old, nobody knows who first discovered it or when. Arsenic compounds were mined by the early Chinese, Greek and Egyptian civilizations. No doubt they discovered its toxic properties early on. I don't know if anybody could find a name from the ancient history.

Jöns Jakob Berzelius and Wilhelm von Hisinger discovered Cerium in 1803 in Sweden and, independantly, in Germany by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in the same year.

Greetings,\n\nCruithne discovered in 1986.\n\nWe currently have a couple of asteriod size objects oribiting the earth, if that is what you are referring to (Reference the first website listed as sources.)\n\nWe also have any number of Near Earth Objects captured by Earth's gravity, the second link posted.\n\n-matt

Pluto was discovered by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona on February 18, 1930 after an extensive search when he compared photographic plates taken on January 23 and 29. After the observatory obtained confirming photographs, the news of the discovery was telegraphed to the Harvard College Observatory on March 13, 1930. The planet was later found on photographs dating back to March 19, 1915. Tombaugh was searching for a "Planet X" to explain discrepancies in the predicted orbit of Neptune. It is now known these discrepancies were an artifact of the slightly incorrect value then assumed for the mass of Neptune.

Hydrogen was first produced by Theophratus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493–1541)—also known as Paracelsus—by mixing metals with acids. He was unaware that the explosive gas produced by this chemical reaction was hydrogen. In 1671, Robert Boyle described the reaction between two iron fillings and dilute acids, which results in the production of gaseous hydrogen.[3] In 1766, Henry Cavendish was the first to recognize hydrogen as a discrete substance, by identifying the gas from this reaction as "inflammable" and finding that the gas produces water when burned in air. Cavendish stumbled on hydrogen when experimenting with acids and mercury. Although he wrongly assumed that hydrogen was a compound of mercury—and not of the acid—he was still able to accurately describe several key properties of hydrogen.\n\nAntoine Lavoisier gave the element its name and proved that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. One of the first uses of the element was for balloons. The hydrogen was obtained by mixing sulfuric acid and iron. In 1931, Harold C. Urey discovered deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, by repeated distilling the same sample of water. For this discovery, Urey received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934. In the same year, the third isotope, tritium, was discovered. Because of its relatively simple structure, hydrogen has often been used in models of how an atom works.

Almost certainly copper, which can be found as the native metal, and in ores which are so easily smelted that they could have been discovered accidentally.  Wikipedia suggests 7500 BC, compared to 4000 BC for silver and gold, and noticeably later for iron.\n\nYou could get an argument from somebody about carbon, because charcoal was being used for painting and decorating caves at least 30,000 years ago, and it's not got a lot of impurities compared with pure carbon.

Apparently as early as 1552 BC, according to the site below.

no one knows the exact date; however, it was roughly 4.6 billion years ago.

helium \n(He), chemical element, inert gas of Group 0 (noble gases) of the periodic table. The second lightest element (only hydrogen is lighter), helium is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that becomes liquid at -268.9 C (-452 F). Only under increased pressure (approximately 25 atmospheres) does helium solidify.\nHelium was discovered in the gaseous atmosphere surrounding the Sun by the French astronomer Pierre Janssen, who detected a bright yellow line in the spectrum of the solar chromosphere during an eclipse in 1868; this line was initially assumed to represent the element sodium. That same year, the English astronomer Joseph Norman Lockyer observed a yellow line in the solar spectrum that did not correspond to the known D1 and D2 lines of sodium, and so he named it the D3 line. Lockyer concluded that the D3 line was caused by an element in the Sun that was unknown on Earth; he and the chemist Edward Frankland used the Greek word for sun, helios, in naming the element. The British chemist Sir William Ramsay discovered the existence of helium on Earth in 1895. Ramsay obtained a sample of the uranium-bearing mineral cleveite, and upon investigating the gas produced by heating the sample, he found that a unique bright-yellow line in its spectrum matched that of the D3 line observed in the spectrum of the Sun; the new element of helium was thus conclusively identified. In 1903 Ramsay and Frederick Soddy further determined that helium is a product of the spontaneous disintegration of radioactive substances. \n\nHelium constitutes about 23 percent of the mass of the universe and is thus second in abundance to hydrogen in the cosmos. Helium is concentrated in stars, where it is synthesized from hydrogen by nuclear fusion. Although helium occurs in the Earth's atmosphere only to the extent of 1 part in 200,000 (0.0005 percent), and small amounts occur in radioactive minerals, meteoric iron, and mineral springs, great volumes of helium are found as a component (up to 7.6 percent) in natural gases in the United States (especially in Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Utah). Smaller supplies have been discovered in Canada and South Africa and in the Sahara Desert.\n\nAlthough there are six known isotopes of helium, only two are stable: helium-3 (symbolized 3He) and helium-4 (symbolized 4He). The four other isotopes are all radioactive, decaying very rapidly into other substances. The helium that is present on Earth is not a primordial component of the Earth but has been generated by radioactive decay. Alpha particles, ejected from the nuclei of heavier radioactive substances, are nuclei of the isotope helium-4. Helium does not accumulate in large quantities in the atmosphere because Earth's gravity is not sufficient to prevent its gradual escape into space. The trace of the isotope helium-3 on Earth is attributable to the negative beta decay of the rare hydrogen-3 isotope (tritium). Helium-4 is by far the most plentiful of the stable isotopes: helium-4 atoms outnumber those of helium-3 about 700,000:1 in atmospheric helium and about 7,000,000:1 in certain helium-bearing minerals.\n\nHelium-4 is unique in having two liquid forms (see Figure A). The normal liquid form is called helium I and exists at temperatures from its boiling point of 4.21 K (-268.9 C) down to about 2.18 K (-271 C). Below 2.18 K, helium-4 undergoes superfluidity (i.e., its viscosity, or resistance to flow, nearly vanishes) and its thermal conductivity becomes more than 1,000 times greater than that of copper. This liquid form is called helium II to distinguish it from normal liquid helium I. By contrast, the less plentiful helium-3 forms three distinguishable liquid phases (see Figure B), of which two are superfluids. Superfluidity in helium-4 was discovered by the Russian physicist Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa in the mid-1930s, and the same phenomenon in helium-3 was first observed by Douglas D. Osheroff, David M. Lee, and Robert C.
