Elements discovered by Berkeley Laboratory physicists include astatine, neptunium, plutonium, curium, americium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, dubnium, and seaborgium.
Berkelium and Californium are named for the University (city) and the state.
The elements Lawrencium and Seaborgium are named after Professors Lawrence and Seaborg
Lawrencium Lr - element number 103 (262Lr)
Berkelium
Berkelium.
Plutonium
Uranium is a natural element extracted from ores. Plutonium is an artificial element obtained in a nuclear reactor by nuclear reactions from uranium 238.
It is in 101st element in the Periodic Table.. Md-Mendelevium
The element Polonium was named by Marie Curie, who, with her husband, discovered it, for Polonia, or Poland. Mme Curie was born in Poland.
The name of the chemical element meitnerium is derived from the name of the important physicist of Jewish origin - Lise Meitner (1878-1968).
Berkelium has been named after Berkeley,CA
Berkellum
Californium is the only element named after a U.S. state. Its atomic number is 98.It's radioactive and was discovered in Berkeley university and named after California.
Californium (Cf) is named after California, the American State. This is because the element was synthesized at the University of California, Berkeley.
Both Berkelium and Californium were named after the University of California, Berkeley. Those elements (and several others) were discovered at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which is managed and operated by the university.
That element is Berkelium, symbol "Bk" and atomic number 97, a radioactive element in the heavy "actonoid" series. Berkelium is named after the Californian university town of Berkeley where it was first synthesized. Scientists at the University of California's Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (simply known as "Berkeley Lab") first synthesized Berkelium in 1949. They created it by bombarding a small piece of Americium ("Am" atomic number 95) with alpha particles within a cyclotron.
The 98th element on the periodic table is known as Californium (Cf). It was first made in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory, in Berkeley. The 97th element on the periodic table was also named after it's original production site. Berkelium (Bk) was discovered in 1949, also at the University of California Radiation Laboratory, in Berkeley.

Elements discovered by Berkeley Lab physicists include astatine, neptunium, plutonium, curium, americium, berkelium*, californium*, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium*, dubnium, and seaborgium*. Those elements listed with asterisks (*) are named after the University, Professors Lawrence and Seaborg.
cos they're not circles? If you mean the elements themselves (The letters on the blocks), there are several reasons. 1: The element was named after the person who discovered the element. 2: The element was named after a person/place/word that the discoverer chose. Some examples are: "Caesium" (Cs) which is a metal element that was named after the Latin word for "deep blue". "Fermium" (Fm) which was found in the wreckage of the first atomic bomb and was named after Enrico Fermi, who worked on the bomb. "Californium" (Cf) which was named after the University of California in Berkeley.
After Berkeley (California, USA).
