How elements got their names? Explain all examples.

Explanation

I. Sometime elements are named based on their property
Ex:1) The latin name for water is "hydro".
2) The latin word for acid is 'oxy'.
hence the gas that forms acid is 'oxygen'.
II. Place of discovery of element can also play a role in its naming.
Ex: the gas that was first discovered in the sum (Greek name for the sun is "hellos") was named as 'helium'.
III. Sometimes the elements were named to honour the scientists.
Ex: Einseinium, Fermium, Rutherfordium and Mendelvium etc.
