Jamaica is an island nation located in the Caribbean Sea. It is located to the south of Cuba and to the west of Haiti. It was once a Spanish territory, but was taken over by the English in 1655. Eventually it became a British colony known as Jamaica, from the native Taíno inhabitants name for the island “Xaymaca.” Jamaica achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1962, although the country is still a part of the Commonwealth of Nations and the Queen remains the current head of state.

Ruthenium is a chemical element that is represented by the chemical symbol Ru and the atomic number 44. It is a rare metal that is most commonly found as a minor component of platinum ores. It is inert (not chemically reactive) with most chemicals and this property makes it important for a variety of niche uses. It is one of the rarest elements on Earth and it is estimated that there are only 5,000 tonnes on the planet. If you have ever wanted to know who discovered ruthenium, keep reading to find out.

Technetium is a chemical element that is represented by the chemical symbol Tc and the atomic number 43. There are no stable isotopes of technetium, which means that every known form is radioactive, and it is the first element on the periodic table with this property. The only naturally occurring technetium comes from spontaneous fission in uranium ores or neutron capture in molybdenum ores. Let’s find out when this radioactive silvery-gray metal was first discovered.

The Cape of Good Hope, sometimes known simply as the Cape, is the rocky headland located on the south western coast of South Africa. It is commonly thought to be the most southern point of the African continent, but that is actually Cape Agulhas about 150 km (90mi) to the east. However, the Cape of Good Hope became the most well known cape in the area because it is the point when ships from Europe could begin traveling in a more easterly direction. This discovery led to the opening of a sea route from Europe to India and the Far East. It was considered to be one of the most important discoveries of the time. If you have ever wondered who was the first person on record to discover this location, keep reading to find out.

Rubidium is a very soft, and highly reactive, silvery white metal. It is a chemical element with an atomic mass of 85.4678 and is represented by the chemical symbol Rb and the atomic number 37. It is the 23rd most common element in the crust of the Earth, but it is not widely mined because it has limited uses. Due to the fact that rubidium is highly reactive the pure metal must be stored in a dry mineral oil or in a container with an inert atmosphere.

Rhodium is a silvery-white metal found in nickel or platinum ores. It is one of the rarest and most expensive precious metals. It is a chemical element and is represented by the chemical symbol Rh and the atomic number 45. Its atomic mass is 102.90550 and it is a solid at room temperature. Pure rhodium is considered to be a noble metal, which means that it is inert and resistant to corrosion and oxidation. If you want to know who discovered Rhodium and when it was discovered, keep reading to find out.

Ytterbium is a chemical element that is a soft silver metal. It is represented by the atomic number 70 and the chemical symbol Yb. It is a part of the lanthanide category of elements and is classified a rare earth element. Ytterbium is found in the minerals, gadolinite, monazite, and xenotime, from which it is extracted commercially. Ytterbium is relatively stable, but should be stored in a closed container to protect it from moisture and air. If you want to know who discovered this chemical element, keep reading to find out.

The Kuiper belt is the region of the solar system that exists beyond the last planet from the sun (Neptune). It is sometimes compared to the asteroid belt because they both mostly consist of small objects. However, the Kuiper belt is estimated to be up to 200 times larger than the asteroid belt. The Kuiper belt is also the location of at least 3 dwarf planets, including Pluto. If you want to know who discovered this important region of the solar system, keep reading to find out.
