refimprove date August 2008 Lt. Carl Axel Arrhenius 1757 1824 was a Swedish chemist. He is most widely known as the discoverer of the element Yttrium . Arrhenius was born in Stockholm . He was interested in mineralogy and chemistry after he met Peter Jacob Hjelm at the Swedish Royal Mint laboratory. Arrhenius was a lieutenant at the Svea artilleriregemente stationed in Vaxholm he took part in the campaign in Finland in 1788. He was promoted to Feldzeugmeister and Lieutenant Colonel at the Svea artilleriregemente and was handed the command in 1816 of the manufacture of powder in the kingdom. His chemistry studies started at the Royal Mint s Kungliga Myntet laboratory, where he studied the characteristics of powder as an artillery officer. During his visit to Paris in 1787 88 he met Antoine Lavoisier , the father of modern chemistry , and upon his return to Sweden became an ardent defender of the revolutionary teachings in chemistry promoted by Antoine Lavoisier. During his time in Vaxholm he also visited the feldspar mine in Ytterby on the island of Resar n near Vaxholm. He found a dark mineral which he named ytterbite and sent to Johan Gadolin at the University of bo for further analysis. Arrhenius was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences from 1799 and of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences from 1817.

lunar crater data latitude 55.6 N or S N longitude 91.3 E or W E diameter 40 km depth Unknown colong 269 eponym Svante Arrhenius Arrhenius is a moon lunar impact crater that is located just on the Far side Moon far side of the Moon , near the southwest limb. In this location the vicinity of the crater can be viewed during favorable libration s, although it is viewed from on edge. To the south southeast is the worn crater Blanchard crater Blanchard , and De Roy crater De Roy lies further to the west. The outer wall of Arrhenius has been somewhat worn and eroded due to a history of minor impacts, leaving the rim rounded and low. There is a knotch in the rim to the north northwest, and an outward bulge along the southeast face. A small craterlet lies across the southwestern rim. The inner floor is relatively flat and free of features of interest. The mid point lacks a central peak. Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid point that is closest to Arrhenius. class wikitable width 25 style background eeeeee Arrhenius width 25 style background eeeeee Latitude width 25 style background eeeeee Longitude width 25 style background eeeeee Diameter align center J align center 57.6 S align center 88.3 W align center 18  km The following craters have been renamed by the International Astronomical Union IAU .
