Member of:

Periclase Group

Name:

Named by James Dwight Dana in 1868 in honor of Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen (30 March 1811, Göttingen, Germany - 16 August 1899, Heidelberg, Germany), Professor of Chemistry, Heidelberg. He was an important analytical chemist and had observed artificial crystals of nickel oxide. Along with Gustav Kirchhoff, Bunsen investigated emission spectra of heated elements leading to the discovery of two elements: cesium and rubidium. The well known Bunsen burner was devised to obtain clean burning flames in order to collect pure spectra of elements so they might be identified by their emmission spectra. and the burner is named after him. Bunsen persued geological problems including the temperature of water in active geysers. Bunsen also invented several improvements to chemical batteries, including the Bunsen battery, which is also named for him. Bunsen was an important teacher and two of his famous students include: Dmitri Mendeleev and Julius Lothar Meyer, both of whom established aspects of the periodic law of the elements and both of whom are credited with devising what has come to be known as the Periodic Table of the Elements.
