Mendeleev-Seaborg Periodic Table

Russian chemist Dimitrii Mendeleev who developed the Periodic Table of the chemical elements. Credit for the first synthesis of this element is given American chemists at the University of California lab in Berkeley, California under Glenn T. Seaborg in 1958, who used the nuclear reaction Es ( He, 2n) Md and the nuclear reaction Es ( He, n) Md. The longest half-life associated with this unstable element is 51 day Md,... 

When Mendeleev published his periodic table for the first time, there were 63 elements. After his death, the number of elements had increased to 86. This quick increase was the result of the periodic table, the most important systemization of chemistry. Although Mendeleev did not discover any new elements, the element with the atomic number 101 discovered by a committee of American scientists led by G.T Seaborg in 1955, was named mendelevium (Md) in honor of Dmitri Mendeleev. 

Glenn T. Seaborg, Nobel Laureate chemist and Chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, is the co-discoverer of nine of the 102 chemical elements. He is the only man since Dmitri Mendeleev to have made a major change in the Periodic Table of the Elements—a change which led immediately to the discovery of the first element heavier than plutonium and subsequently to the discovery of another half dozen transuranium elements. 

The/ block, whose existence was recognized byTVmerican chemist Glenn Seaborg, has two rows containing nearly one-quarter of all the elements. The first row is known as the rare earth elements or lanthanides. The second / block row is referred to as the actinides. The most common form of the Periodic Table, the Mendeleev-Seaborg form, has they-elements at the bottom. Fourteen/ block elements increase the period length to thirty-two. 

Mendelevium (Md) Named after Dmitri Mendeleev who formulated the first periodic table in 1869 The element was synthesized in 1955 by a team including Glenn Seaborg...
