Ytterbythe elements areyttrium, ytterbium, terbium, and erbium.
First manufactured at the University of California, Berkeley in 1950, curium is bombarded with alpha particles (helium-4 ions).
There are two elements that are known to be named after ancient lands. These two elements are ruthenium (after the ancient name, Ruthenia, an Eastern European cross-section) and gallium (after Gaul, the ancient name for France).

All the elements with more than 4 electrons in the valence shell,which are usually gaining electrons and are reduced in the chemical reactions are named "non-metal".This does not include elements in transition metal
