Francium - named after France. Germanium - named after Germany. Californium - named after California, USA.
I can think of Germanium, Indium, Polonium, Francium, Americium and Nihonium.
Elements might also be named after famous scientists, places, mythology, or historical figures. Some elements are named after their color, physical properties, or unique characteristics. Additionally, elements can be named based on their atomic number or the order in which they were discovered.
Elements are named based on various factors such as their discovery, properties, origin, or historical context. Some elements are named after scientists, places, mythological figures, or even colors. The names of elements are often derived from Latin or Greek roots to reflect their characteristics or properties.
Scientists have named all known elements on the periodic table. Each element has a unique name and chemical symbol. Some elements are named after famous scientists, places, mythological figures, or distinctive characteristics.
Elements are named after countries, not countries after elements ! Countries: francium, germanium, gallium, ruthenium, indium Regions: scandium, hassium, californium Continents: americium Also many towns.
Americium and Europium are the elements named for large regions which include several countries.
americium, germanium, scandium, polonium
Francium - named after France. Germanium - named after Germany. Californium - named after California, USA.
Several countries do not have elements named after them, including Brazil, Canada, and Mexico. While many elements are named after places, scientists often choose names based on historical figures, minerals, or geographical features rather than directly referencing countries. Notably, elements like francium and polonium are named after France and Poland, respectively, but many nations remain unrepresented in the periodic table.
I can think of Germanium, Indium, Polonium, Francium, Americium and Nihonium.
Scandium is named after the entire Scandinavian peninsula which contains three countries (Norway, Sweden, and Finland). Thulium is named after the northernmost part of the world.
Many elements names are of Greek and Latin words. Some elements are name after where named after countries like France, German ect.
americium, francium, im not sure about the last one, hope i helped!
America: Americium, France: Francium, Poland: Polonium, and Germany: Germanium.
Some elements in the periodic table are indeed named after scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of chemistry. For example, Curium is named after Marie and Pierre Curie, Mendeleevium honors Dmitri Mendeleev, and Seaborgium is named after Glenn T. Seaborg.
Offhand I can't think of any that are directly named after their discoverer personally. There are several named after scientists (curium, einsteinium, seaborgium, mendelevium, etc.), but those scientists did not discover these particular elements (Seaborg discovered, or at least participated in the discovery of, several elements, but seaborgium was not one of them; likewise for Curie and curium; Einstein didn't discover any elements). There are some named after countries: francium and polonium were named after France and Poland... the countries where their discoverer, Marie Curie, was living and was born respectively. Finally, there are at least two named after an employer: californium and berkelium were named by a team working at the University of California - Berkeley. ("At least" because while lawrencium is supposedly named after Ernest O. Lawrence, it was discovered at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, which was ALSO named after Ernest O. Lawrence, making it a bit ambiguous.)
