Californium was first made at University of California Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley, by physics researchers Stanley Gerald Thompson, Kenneth Street Jr., Albert Ghiorso, and Glenn T. Seaborg, about February 9, 1950. [28] It was the sixth transuranium element to be discovered; the team announced its discovery on March 17, 1950. [29] [30]
Seaborg was the principal or co-discoverer of ten elements: plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium and element 106, which, while he was still living, was named seaborgium in his honor. He said about this naming, "This is the greatest honor ever bestowed upon me—even better, I think ...
The element forms a ... (CfOCl) was the first californium compound to be discovered. [15 ... an organometallic compound is known. A bent californium metallocene has ...
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.
[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 ...
Flerovium became the name of element 114; the final name proposed for element 116 was instead livermorium, [99] with moscovium later being proposed and accepted for element 115 instead. [ 17 ] Traditionally, the names of all noble gases end in "-on", with the exception of helium , which was not known to be a noble gas when discovered.

One such element is Promethium. First discovered 80 years ago in 1945, Promethium is a lanthanide (one of a series of 15 metallic chemicals also known as rare earth metals) with the atomic number ...
