Seaborg<\/a>. It was the most fruitful collaboration in the early days of cyclotron operation when their results were difficult to identify and detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their work led to his co-discovering the following elements of the periodic table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Americium <\/strong>in 1944 (element 95)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Curium <\/strong>in 1944 (element 96)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Berkelium <\/strong>in 1949 (element 97)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Californium <\/strong>in 1950 (element 98)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Einstenium <\/strong>in 1952 (element 99)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fermium <\/strong>in 1953 (element 100)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mendelevium <\/strong>in 1955 (element 101)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nobelium <\/strong>in 1958-1959 (element 102)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lawrentium <\/strong>in 1961 (element 103)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rutherfordium <\/strong>in 1969 (element 104)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dubnium <\/strong>in 1970 (element 105)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seaborgium <\/strong>in 1974 (element 106)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems intuitive to know why these elements were given the name they have, but if you have any doubts, you can consult the article: <a href=\"https:\/\/rinconeducativo.org\/en\/recursos-educativos\/curiosities-of-the-names-on-the-periodic-table\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Curiosities of the Names on the Periodic Table<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the controversy over the discovery of element 118 in 2000, the name Ghiorsium was proposed by his colleagues (now donomin oganeson).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1994, he found traces of the chemical element of atomic number 110, tentatively called ununnilium, in reactions between bismuth nuclei bombarded with cobalt.
