Hello, There you go. The French chemist Paul-Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran (1838â1912), who discovered it in 1875. Gallium (Latin Gallia meaning Gaul; also gallus, meaning rooster) was discovered spectroscopically by Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1875 by its characteristic spectrum (two violet lines) in an examination of a zinc blende from the Pyrenees.
Chemists William Crookes and Claude-Auguste Lamy discovered thallium independently in 1861, in residues of sulfuric acid production. Both used the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy, in which thallium produces a notable green spectral line.hallium is found in the minerals crookesite TlCu 7 Se 4, hutchinsonite TlPbAs 5 S 9, and lorandite TlAsS 2. Thallium also occurs as a trace element in iron pyrite, and thallium is extracted as a by-product of roasting this mineral for the production of sulfuric acid.
