A Russian chemist, Dmitre Medelev, is given the most credit for developing the Periodic Table, and element 101 is named for him: mendelevium. Its most stable isotope has an Atomic Mass of 258amu. The number of protons in a nucleus is equal to the atomic number (101) and the number of neutrons is equal to the atomic mass minus the protons (258 - 101 = 157).

Which chemist discovered a element that isn't named after them?

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.
