Rutherfordium is a transactinoid.
The members of the transactinoids family are: Rf, Db, Sg, Bh, Hs, Mt, Ds, Rg, Cn, Uut, Fl, Uup, Lv, Uus, Uuo. They are transition metals, period 7 of the Periodic Table of Mendeleev.
The family name of the members of zirconium is the "zirconium family" or the "zirconium group." Zirconium belongs to group 4 in the periodic table, so its family members include titanium, hafnium, and rutherfordium.
The family name for the element sulfur is the chalcogens.
Quartz, feldspar, mica, and pyroxene are common members of the silicate mineral family.
Copper belongs to the chemical element family of transition metals.
Group 14 in the periodic table of Mendeleev: copper, gold, silver.
Rutherfordium
The chemical element with the longest name is Darmstadtium. It is a synthetic element that was named after the city of Darmstadt in Germany where it was discovered.
Rutherfordium is the neo-Latin name of an element first detected in 1966 as a result of particle collisions in a nuclear research facility. It is named for the physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937). Before 1966 Rutherfordium was unknown, and thus it has no traditional Latin name.Before the name of a new element is formally adopted, the element is known by a "systematic element name" derived from the Latin names for the digits of its atomic number. In the case of Rutherfordium, atomic number 104, this was unnilquadium.
The name rutherfordium is derived from the name of the physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937).
The family name of the members of zirconium is the "zirconium family" or the "zirconium group." Zirconium belongs to group 4 in the periodic table, so its family members include titanium, hafnium, and rutherfordium.
The name of the chemical element is derived from the name of the well known physicist Ernest Rutherford.
The name of the element is derived from Ernest Rutherford, a well known physicist.
Rutherfordium has the name of Rutherford Hayes but was named for the physicist Ernest Rutherford .
The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) at Dubna, Russia, proposed the name: kurchatovium (Ku). However, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory claimed to have discovered element 104 first and proposed the name: rutherfordium (Rh). IUPAC ended up accepting the name rutherfordium.
No element was named for an American president. Rutherfordium has the name of Rutherford Hayes but was named for the physicist Ernest Rutherford.
Also rutherfordium.
The element tungsten (W) has the most consecutive consonants in a row in its name, with six in a row (ngstn).
