What was the significant change that Glenn Seaborg made to Mendeleevs periodic table?

Glenn T. Seaborg contibutedto the periodic table by discovering 8 different elements. He discovered americium (95), curium (96), berkilium (97), californium (98), einsteinnium (99), fermiuim (100), mendelevium (101), and nobelium (102). Element 106, seaborgium, bears his name.


What are the element and their symbols that was named by seaborg's group?

The elements and their symbols that were discovered by Glenn T. Seaborg's group were: plutonium (94) americium (95), curium (96), berkelium (97), californium (98), einsteinium (99), fermium (100), mendelevium (101), nobelium (102), and seaborgium (106).


What two elements did Seaborg's group produce and what are they symbols?

Seaborg actually produced more than two. He produced Plutonium (Pu), Americium (Am), Curium (Cm), Berkelium (Bk) and Califormium) (Cf).


What is the atomic number for americium and where is it found and who found it and when did the discovery occur?

Americium was discovered in 1944 by Glenn Seaborg, Leon Morgan, Ralph James and Albert Ghiorso at the University of California, Berkeley. The atomic number of americium is 95.


What does the element word Americium mean?

Americium is a synthetic element with the atomic number 95. It does not occur naturally on earth because it has a short half life and breaks down into other elements. It was first made by Glenn Seaborg in 1944 by bombarding plutonium with neutron. It was named Amercium after the Americas - because an element had already been named Europium after Europe.


Who started the Actinide family?

From the earlier known chemical properties of Actinium (89) up to Uranium (92), indicating a relation to the transition metals, it was generally assumed that the transuraniums would have similar qualities. During his Manhattan Project research in 1944, Glenn T. Seaborg experienced unexpected difficulty isolating Americium (95) and Curium (96). He began wondering if these elements more properly belonged to a different series than the transition metals, which would explain why the expected chemical properties of the new elements were different. In 1945, he went against the advice of colleagues and proposed the most significant change to Mendeleev's periodic table to have been accepted universally by the scientific community: the actinide series.
