Diana Rigg. needed neither gun nor umbrella.

you are sure about that?

I give you the Noble Gases, but what else?

I think the Swedes rank quite high as do the French and the Germans.

Please give your source. I have a book ready, but would have to look up more than 100 elements.

So what British chemist found a number of Elements like Scheele. (Answer Ramsay with the noble gases, but what else?

Some don't count, those known since ancient times: copper, Iron, Gold, silver, lead,

US researchers have created some elements (Seaborg et al) but probably not mire than 10 in sum. (We also have Russinas and germans creating elements)
