Wollaston's disclosure of his elements discovery was unique. How?
Published in a small magazine
Announced in a party
Shared in a riddle
Revealed in a letter to King
Answer
Wollaston's disclosure of his elements discovery was unique in that he published it in a small magazine, rather than in a scientific journal. This was likely due to the fact that he was not a professional scientist, and therefore did not have access to the same channels of publication as his colleagues.
