Maybe Scandium, Europium, Berkelium - there are probably many more. - Californium -
Atomic number is the characteristic used to place the elements in their rows. Electron configuration is another characteristic that governs which elements are placed in groups.
Elements were originally placed in order of atomic massnow they are placed in order of atomic number
I can think of Germanium, Indium, Polonium, Francium, Americium and Nihonium.
Elements may also be named for the place where they were discovered or developed
There are five different elements that are named by scientists. The five elements are Bohrium, Curium, Einsteinium, Fermium and Lawrencium.
They are named by the first two letters of their Latin name.
Americium and Europium are the elements named for large regions which include several countries.
they are the lanthanide and actinide series of rare earths
sweden and germany
Einsteinium Rutherfordium
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).
Atomic number is the characteristic used to place the elements in their rows. Electron configuration is another characteristic that governs which elements are placed in groups.
Curium is named after Marie Curie and meitnerium is named after Lise Meitner.
There are no elements named after places since an element is atoms which are all the same not a mixture of two types of atoms nor a compound which is more than three.
uranium-uranus plutonium-pluto
The two rows of elements placed below the periodic table are known as f block elements. The two rows are also known as lanthanides and actinides. In these elements, the electrons are filled in the antepenaltimate f orbital.
