named for the university where many of the transuranium elements were synthesized?
Element 101, mendelevium (Md), is named after Dmitri Mendeleev, the Russian scientist who developed the periodic table. Mendelevium is a transuranium element, meaning it has a higher atomic number than uranium, and is synthesized in laboratories as it does not have any stable isotopes.
Seaborgium is named for Glenn Theodore Seaborg (b. 1912), Swedish chemist and recipient of the 1951 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for chemical discoveries related to transuranium elements.
Berkelium and Californium are named for the University (city) of Berkeley and the state.The elements Lawrencium and Seaborgium are named after professors Ernest Lawrence and Glenn Seaborg.
The name of the chemical element californium is derived from the name of the state California, USA.
America, the country it was discovered in. Many elements are named after the country where they were first found.
Several countries have elements named after them, including francium (named after France), polonium (named after Poland), berkelium (named after Berkeley, California, where it was discovered), americium (named after America), and dubnium (named after Dubna, Russia, where it was synthesized).
Cf in the periodic table is named after the University of California, Berkeley, where the element was first discovered in 1950. The element californium was named after the state of California in the United States where the university is located.
Berkelium is a synthetic element that is typically produced in nuclear reactors by bombarding heavier elements with neutrons. It is named after the University of California, Berkeley. Berkelium is radioactive and has applications in nuclear research and the production of other transuranium elements.
The elements berkelium and californium are named after the University of California. Note that the latter element is named for the state of California as well as the University itself.
You think probable to ytterbium, terbium and erbium.
Mendelevium, element 101 and abbreviated Md, was named in honor of Dmitri Mendeleev (note the spelling difference) who came up with the first working concept of a periodic table.
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.
