      definatly discovered. Most of the periodic table is made of metals and they are all pure atoms that are all the same.
      lots of metals are the simpliest of things, we can’t make them only find them.

      The same way as electricity was not invented- we just found out it existed. Things that we invent are like TV’s and phones- inventions take simple things like metals and find new uses for them

      Yup, I’m with Jamie — discovered, not invented!
