In 1774, '''Karl Wilhelm Scheele''' discovered Chlorine. Scheels thought that chlorine was an oxide of murium, or hydrochloric acid. Scheeles experienced to heat manganese dioxide and hydrochloric acid. From this experiment he discoverd greenish, yellow gas, called chlorine. However, Scheeles did not place chlorine as an element. In 1810, '''Humphrey Davy''' named chlorine and established it as an element. It was named after the Greek word chloros, which means pale green. | In 1774, '''Karl Wilhelm Scheele''' discovered Chlorine.
