Answer:
wilhelm hisinger -lrb- december 23 , 1766 -- june 28 , 1852 -rrb- was a swedish physicist and chemist who in 1807 , working in coordination with jons jakob berzelius , noted that in electrolysis any given substance always went to the same pole , and that substances attracted to the same pole had other properties in common .this showed that there was at least a qualitative correlation between the chemical and electrical natures of bodies .in 1803 , in separate laboratories , martin heinrich klaproth in one , and berzelius and hisinger in another , the element cerium was discovered , which was named after the newly discovered asteroid , ceres .discovered nearly simultaneously in two laboratories , though it was later shown that berzelius and hisinger 's cerium was actually a mixture of cerium , lanthanum and so-called didymium .hisinger was elected a member of the royal swedish academy of sciences in 1804 .the mineral hisingerite , an iron silicate , with the formula fe3 +2 si2o5 -lrb- oh -rrb- 4 2h2o , is named after hisinger .there is also aluminian hisingerite which is when one of the iron atoms is replaced by aluminum .the mountain of hisingerfjellet in nathorst land at spitsbergen , svalbard , is named after him .
