yes !
Element 106 is named seaborgium. Seaborg was instrumental in the discovery of plutonium and worked on the Manhattan Project.
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
The prize and element are named after a person; nobelium, A#102.
Roentgenium, element 111, named after the discoverer of the X-ray, Wilhelm Roentgen.
No, the word Boron is supposedly from the Persian language, and was named after the mineral borax.
Inverse ! The chemical element seaborgium is named in the honor of the chemist Glenn Seaborg.
This element is seaborgium (Sg).
Element 106 is named seaborgium. Seaborg was instrumental in the discovery of plutonium and worked on the Manhattan Project.
Element 106, with the systematic element name Unnilhexium, was renamed seaborgium in 1997, after having rejected the name Rutherfordium as the IUPAC dictate that no element can be named after a living person.Glenn T. Seaborg (April 19, 1912 - February 25, 1999) was an American scientist who won the 1951 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for "discoveries in the chemistry of the transuranium elements."
Seaborgium was named after Glenn Seaborg, a well known nuclear chemist and radiochemist.
Seaborgium is named for Glenn Theodore Seaborg (b. 1912), Swedish chemist and recipient of the 1951 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for chemical discoveries related to transuranium elements.
Most elements are not named after those who discovered them. Only one element was named after a person who was still alive at the time: Seaborgium was named after Glenn Seaborg, who was credited as a co-discoverer. By this time all newly discovered elements had to be synthesized in particle accelerators and therefore their discovery could not be attributed to any single scientist.
Element 106 was named seaborgium after Glenn T. Seaborg, an american scientist who won the 1951 Nobel Peace Prize in Chemistry. Einsteinium was named for German physicist Albert Einstein, however, he gained American citizenship and worked for the American government.
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
The prize and element are named after a person; nobelium, A#102.
Many elements have been named after scientists, almost always posthumously. Only one element was named after a scientist still alive: Seaborgium, element number 106, Symbol Sb, was officially named and accepted internationally in 1997. The element was named after Glenn T. Seaborg who discovered the actinide series of the Periodic Table, and was principle in discovering 8 elements, and two more on research teams, totalling 10 elements discovered in his lifetime. He died in 1999, 2 years after Seaborgium was officially named, although he did not discover that element.
Roentgenium, element 111, named after the discoverer of the X-ray, Wilhelm Roentgen.
