Strontium - the atomic number is 38 and the chemical symbol is Sr. The name derives from Strontian, a town in Scotland . The mineral strontianite is found in mines in Strontian. The element was discovered by the Scottish chemist and physician Thomas Charles Hope in 1792 observing the brilliant red flame color of strontium. It was first isolated by the English chemist Humphry Davy in 1808. 

Cartoon Showing a Controversy in 1817 over the Founding of a Chair of Comparative Anatomy. The Candidate, Dr. Barclay, is shown astride the elephant s skeleton. His opponent, Dr. Thomas Charles Hope (center foreground), has his anchor firmly grounded in the strontian. This is an allusion to the research in which he distinguished between baryta and strontia. The scene is laid at the entrance to the old College of Edinburgh. 

Thomas Charles Hope, 1766-1844. Scottish chemist and physician. Successor to Dr. Joseph Black at Edinburgh. The first chemist in Great Britain to teach Lavoisier s views on combustion. Hope and Dr. Adair Crawford were the first to distinguish between baryta and strontia. 

Near the close of 1791, Thomas Charles Hope of Edinburgh began an elaborate investigation of the Strontian spar, the results of which he presented to the College Literary Society of Edinburgh in March, 1792, and to the Royal Society of Edinburgh on November 4, 1793. In these experiments he made a clear distinction between witherite and strontian spar (strontianite) and proved conclusively that the latter contains a new earth strontites, or strontia (26, 30, 48). He noticed that strontia slakes even more avidly with water than does lime that, like baryta, it is much more soluble in hot water than in cold that its solubility in water is extremely great and that all its compounds, especially the chloride,... 

In 1814 Thomas Charles Hope of Edinburgh wrote in a letter to the British Quaker chemist William Allen I should be very glad to know what doctrine you teach now with regard to oxymuriatic acid. Are you yet a convert to chlorine I am impatient to see Lussac s paper on iodine, in particular to learn how far the facts respecting that substance go to confirm the new views of chlorine. Lussac appears to be a convert to Davy s sentiments, and certainly the acquisition of one who so strenuously opposed them must be accounted a very flattering occurrence (117). 

Thomas Charles Hope was appointed as the sole Lecturer in Chemistry in 1797. In addition to teaching the regular students, in 1826 he introduced a Short Course of Lectures for Ladies and Gentlemen. 71 The presence of women on campus was not appreciated by many academics for example, Lord Cockburn wrote to T. F. Kennedy ... 

The fashionable place here now is the College where Dr Thomas Charles Hope lectures to ladies on Chemistry. He receives 300 of them by a back window, which he has converted into a door. Each of them brings a beau, and the ladies declare that there was never anything so delightful as these chemical flirtations.72...

In 1789, Klaproth isolated zirconia from zircon, and in the same year he discovered uranium in the ore pitchblende. He confirmed the existence of strontia (discovered by Thomas Charles Hope [1766-1844]) in 1795 and discovered titanium that same year. In 1797, he isolated chromium, while in 1789 he announced the discovery of tellurium. Klaproth shares a three-way discovery of cerium with Wilhelm Hisinger (1766-1852) and Jons Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848).

Thomas Midgley, working with a group of researchers under Charles F. Kettering, discovered a fuel-additive, tetraethyl lead that enhanced the knock resistance of existing fuels. By the time this additive entered commercial use in 1923, the average compression ratio of new U.S. cars had advanced to 4.3.
