∙ 13y agoThere are numerous elements named after scientists, including curium (named after Marie and Pierre Curie), einsteinium (named after Albert Einstein), fermium (named after Enrico Fermi), and seaborgium (named after Glenn T. Seaborg).
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and founder of the Nobel Prizes, did not have any elements named after him.
Many elements of the periodic table are named in honor of famous scientists.For example,Meitnerium, Mt, is named after Lise Meitner.Bohrium, Bh, is named after Niels Bohr.Curium, Cm, is named after Marie and Pierre Curie.Mendelevium, Md, is named after Dmitri Mendeleev.elements are not alive...they don't name anything.
The five bases of naming elements are the element's historical roots, a mythological concept, a property of the element, a scientist's name, or a geographical location.
Antoine Lavoisier is the scientist who proposed that matter is made of many elements and is widely considered the founder of modern chemistry.
This will be a very long list as there are many forms of science. So you might try changing the question to "Which Chemists, discovered elements that they did not name after themselves?" Or an example is Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone.
It's named after scientist Alfred Nobel.
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and founder of the Nobel Prizes, did not have any elements named after him.
Einsteinium, lawrencium, Mendelevium, Holmium, Rutherfordium
Mendelevium is named after the Russian chemist and inventor Dmitri Mendeleev, who is best known for creating the periodic table of elements.
there are many for example: Bohrium : after Niels Bohr Copernicum : After Copernicus Rutherfordium : After Rutherford Many Einsteinium is named after Einstein. Curium after the Curies, Ruthefordium after Rutherford and of course Seaborgium whcih was named after a LIVING famous scientist Glen Seaborg
Latin was one of the first languages. Many other languages have Latin roots. And Not all the elements have Latin names. Some are named after famous people and scientist. Such as Einsteinium.
named for the university where many of the transuranium elements were synthesized?
Many of the first discovered elements were named by their discoverer or the location where they were discovered, such as hydrogen, named by Antoine Lavoisier, and uranium, named after the planet Uranus.
Curium. Marie Curie, discoverer of radioactivity.
It is named after Dmitri Mendeleev, the scientist who was responsible for devising the periodic table of elements.
Einsteinium and mendelevium, Thorium, Curium, Fermium, Rutherfordium, Bohrium, Seaborgium, etc., etc.
