Recent GA and neither me nor Earwig can find any copyvio. Source verified and cited inline. QPQ done. Hook is... interesting, though I would ask "what isn't detected in spectroscopy?". Just in case, I propose a couple other hooks, for the promoter:
ALT1: ... that vanadium(pictured) was named after the Norse goddess
Freyja?
ALT2: ... that after vanadium(pictured) was first discovered in 1801,
its discoverer mistakenly believed he had instead extracted
chromium, and retracted his claim?
Thanks @
Juxlos:. Your proposed hooks will need to be approved by someone else.

ALT1 approved. I agree with the concern regarding ALT0, and ALT2 is confusingly worded (it would need to be explained that the "mistakenly believed" was a second step for the "retracted" to follow). ALT1 works well and should attract readers surprised by the non-obvious connection between the two names.
