Elements discovered by Berkeley Laboratory physicists include astatine, neptunium, plutonium, curium, americium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, dubnium, and seaborgium.
Berkelium and Californium are named for the University (city) and the state.
The elements Lawrencium and Seaborgium are named after Professors Lawrence and Seaborg
The element lawrencium (symbol Lr) was named after Ernest O. Lawrence, who invented the cyclotron in 1932. Lawrence was an American physicist and the founder of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Plutonium is the radioactive element named after the god of the underworld, Pluto. It is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its high radioactivity.
The element named after a scientist known for his theory of relativity is einsteinium, with the atomic number 99. It was discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb test in 1952.
It is in 101st element in the Periodic Table.. Md-Mendelevium
Bill Nye does not have an element named after him. The other three scientists (Albert Einstein, Lise Meitner, Enrico Fermi) have elements named after them (Einsteinium, Meitnerium, Fermium).
Berkelium has been named after Berkeley,CA
Cf in the periodic table is named after the University of California, Berkeley, where the element was first discovered in 1950. The element californium was named after the state of California in the United States where the university is located.
Berkellum
Californium is the only element named after a U.S. state. Its atomic number is 98.It's radioactive and was discovered in Berkeley university and named after California.
That element is Berkelium, symbol "Bk" and atomic number 97, a radioactive element in the heavy "actonoid" series. Berkelium is named after the Californian university town of Berkeley where it was first synthesized. Scientists at the University of California's Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (simply known as "Berkeley Lab") first synthesized Berkelium in 1949. They created it by bombarding a small piece of Americium ("Am" atomic number 95) with alpha particles within a cyclotron.
Both Berkelium and Californium were named after the University of California, Berkeley. Those elements (and several others) were discovered at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which is managed and operated by the university.
The 98th element on the periodic table is known as Californium (Cf). It was first made in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory, in Berkeley. The 97th element on the periodic table was also named after it's original production site. Berkelium (Bk) was discovered in 1949, also at the University of California Radiation Laboratory, in Berkeley.
The elements berkelium and californium are named after the University of California. Note that the latter element is named for the state of California as well as the University itself.
The element lawrencium (symbol Lr) was named after Ernest O. Lawrence, who invented the cyclotron in 1932. Lawrence was an American physicist and the founder of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
