History & Etymology
In 1702, Wilhelm Homberg (1652-1715) used borax, a substance generally thought to be artificially produced, to make a snow white powder he called sedative salt, (boric acid, HBO2). In 1747-8 Théodore Baron de Hénouville (1715-1768) demonstrated that borax is composed of the sedative salt and soda (Na2O). Gay-Lussac & Thénard in France and Davy in England isolated the element within sedative salt in 1808. On 21 June 1808, Louis-Joseph Gay-Lussac (1778-1850) and Louis-Jacques Thénard (1777-1857) in France announced their decomposing and recomposing boric acid. They called the new element bore and concluded that the radical should have a place beside Carbon, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. The following year Gay-Lussac proposed that gases combine exclusively in simple volume ratios.
Nine days later in England, on 30 June 1808 Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829) presented a paper to the Royal Society likewise announcing the discovery of metallic Boron by heating boric acid and Potassium in a Copper tube for 15 minutes. In the Bakerian lecture, read on 15 December 1808, Davy proposed to name the new substance Boracium (note):
Bore / boracium was in English named boron, because of the similarity to carbon. Most of the other languages use the name given by Gay-Lussac and Thénard.
