Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846, by by Johann Galle and Heinrich d'Arrest at the Berlin Observatory, using a predicted position by Urbain LeVerrier.
Electron configuration of neptunium: [Rn]7s26d15f4
Yes, neptunium is a metallic element and can exhibit a metallic luster when polished.
The element Neptunium has a word in its name ("Neptune") that refers to a planet discovered long ago, and the element itself was discovered around the same time.
The fresh surface of neptunium is silvery.
The number of valence electrons in neptunium, which has an atomic number of 93, can be determined by looking at its electron configuration. Neptunium has a configuration of [Rn] 5f^4 6d^1 7s^2, so it has 3 valence electrons.
Neptunium was discovered in 1940.
Neptunium was discovered by Edwin Mac Millan and Philipp Abelson at Berkeley National Laboratory.
