Gallium is a chemical element; it has the symbol Ga and atomic number 31. Discovered by the French chemist Paul-Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1875, [13] gallium is in group 13 of the periodic table and is similar to the other metals of the group (aluminium, indium, and thallium).
Paul-Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran, also called François Lecoq de Boisbaudran (18 April 1838 – 28 May 1912), was a self-taught [2] French chemist known for his discoveries of the chemical elements gallium, samarium and dysprosium. [3]
[169] [170] Hafnium was the last stable element to be discovered (noting however the difficulties regarding the discovery of rhenium). 43 Technetium: 1937 C. Perrier and E. Segrè: 1937 C. Perrier & E. Segrè The two discovered a new element in a molybdenum sample that was used in a cyclotron, the first element to be discovered by synthesis. It ...
So, element 105 was named dubnium, and element 106 was named seaborgium. The elements were placed in the periodic table’s seventh row, which is above the row of lanthanides and the row of actinides.
41 of the 118 known elements have names associated with, or specifically named for, places around the world or among astronomical objects. 32 of these have names tied to the places on Earth, and the other nine are named after to Solar System objects: helium for the Sun; tellurium for the Earth; selenium for the Moon; mercury (indirectly), uranium, neptunium and plutonium after their respective ...
The Americans also wished to name element 106 seaborgium. This naming dispute ran from the 1970s (when the elements were discovered) to the 1990s, when the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) created a tentative list of the element names for elements 104 to 109. The Americans, however, refused to agree with these names ...
Scientists discovered a method to create element 116 using a titanium beam, paving the way for future synthesis of element 120, the "holy grail" of chemistry.
