Historie
Selenium was first observed in about the year 1300 by the alchemist Arnold of Villanova.

Selenium was discovered in 1817 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius and Johan Gottlieb Gahn who noted the similarity of the new element to the previously-known tellurium.

In 1873, Willoughby Smith found that the electrical resistance of grey selenium was dependent on the ambient light.

Toepassingen
Selenium is used in the glass industry to decolorize glass and to make red-colored glasses and enamels.

It is used as a catalyst in many chemical reactions.

It is also used as a photographic toner, and as an additive to stainless steel.

Selenium sulfide is used in anti-dandruff shampoos.
Many of selenium's compounds, such as selenates and selenites, are highly toxic
