Element 108 has historically been known as eka-osmium and was called unniloctium (symbol Uno) as a temporary name until the official name was approved. The name hassium was proposed by the German discoverers in 1992, derived from the Latin name for the German state of Hesse where their institute is located. In 1994 a committee of IUPAC recommended that it be named hahnium (Hn), in spite of the long-standing convention to give the discoverer the right to suggest a name. After protests from the German discoverers, the name hassium (Hs) was adopted internationally in 1997

Element 109 has historically been known as eka-iridium and was called unnilennium (symbol Une) as a temporary name until the official name was approved. The name meitnerium (Mt) was suggested in honor of the Austrian physicist Lise Meitner, a co-discoverer of protactinium (with Otto Hahn), and one of the discoverers of nuclear fission, and was adopted as the official name for this element in 1997.

Actinium, from aktinos or ray, is the first member of the actinide series. It has symbol Ac and atomic number 89. It was discovered in 1899 by André-Louis Debierne, a French chemist, who separated it from pitchblende residues. Actinium is radioactive with the longest-lived isotope having a half-life of less than 22 years. In nature actinium is produced by the decay of uranium.

Actinon, symbol An, was the name used from the 1920s for the emanation from the decay of actinium. Similar decay products from radium and thorium were named radon and thoron. These gases were actually all different isotopes of the same element, the rare gas now officially called radon (atomic number 86), so actinon is now considered as 216Rn.

Americium (symbol Am, atomic number 95) is a transuranic radioactive chemical element of the actinide series and was named after the continent America by analogy with the element europium above it in the periodic table. Americium was first produced in 1944 by the group of Glenn T Seaborg at the University of California, Berkeley, although its discovery was kept secret until November 1945. Americium is a relatively soft radioactive metal with a silvery appearance. The longest-lived isotope has a half-life of over 7000 years.

Barium from barys meaning heavy or dense, has atomic number 56, symbol Ba and is a member of the alkaline earth family. Although barium minerals were known to alchemists in the middle ages, it wasn't until 1774 that Carl Scheele identified barite as containing a new element although he could only produce barium oxide and not the element itself. Sir Humphrey Davy first isolated barium itself by the electrolysis of molten barium salts in 1808. It is a soft silvery-white metal that rapidly tarnishes in air.

Bismuth, symbol Bi and atomic number 83, derives its name from the German wissmuth meaning white mass. Bismuth is a `poor metal' and is brittle with a silvery white colour. It was one of the first 10 metals to be discovered and has been known since the middle ages. It is generally regarded as the heaviest stable element. Bismuth has unusually low toxicity for a heavy metal and so has been used as a replacement for lead.

Cadmium, with symbol Cd and atomic number 48, is a soft, bluish-white metal in the same group as zinc and mercury. It was discovered independently in 1817 by the Germans Friedrich Stromeyer and Karl Hermann. Cadmium's name is derived from the latin version of calamine (cadmia), a mineral containing mainly zinc carbonate in which it is an impurity and from which it was first isolated. It has been used in batteries, electroplating, yellow pigments, nuclear control rods and solar panels but its use is now decreasing because of its toxicity.

Caesium, with symbol Cs and atomic number 55, is a soft, gold-coloured metal that is quickly oxidised in air and reacts explosively in water. Its name is derived from the Latin caesius, meaning sky-blue, as its salts turn flames blue. It was discovered in 1860 by Gustav Kirchhoff and Robert Bunsen. One of its most important uses is in atomic clocks which give the standard measurement of time. These clocks are a vital part of the internet and mobile phone networks, as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.

Cassiopium, after the constallation cassiopeia which is named after the vain queen Cassiopeia in Greek mythology, was a name proposed by the Austrian mineralogist Baron von Welsbach for element 71 (now lutetium) when he claimed its discovery in 1907 as an impurity in the mineral ytterbia which had previously been thought to consist of purely ytterbium. However, its discovery was also claimed by a French scientist, Georges Urbain, and an American chemist Charles James. In 1909, the priority for discovery was finally granted to Urbain and his name (lutecium, which changed to lutetium in 1949) was adopted as the official one. The name cassiopium (or cassiopeium) for element 71 was used by many German scientists until the 1950s.

Columbium, after Columbia the poetic name for America, with symbol Cb, was the name originally given to element 41 by its discoverer, Charles Hatchett, in 1801. Subsequently there was considerable confusion over the difference between columbium and the closely related element tantalum, and when element 41 was rediscovered by the German chemist Heinrich Rose, he called it niobium. The two names were used, with the states favouring columbium, and europe niobium, until 1949/50 when, despite the chronological precedence, niobium was recognised as the official name for element 41.

Copernicium, with symbol Cn, is the provisional name for element 112. The name is expected to be officially endorsed by IUPAC in January 2010. Atoms of this element were first made at GSI Darmstadt in 1996 by bombarding zinc ions onto a lead target. It is named after the Astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) who formulated a scientifically-based heliocentric cosmology that displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.

Copper, atomic number 29, symbol Cu from Cuprum, derived from the ancient name for Cyprus where it was mined, was known to early man. With gold it is one of only two coloured metals. It is a ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Pure copper is rather soft and malleable and it occurs alloyed in most gold jewellery and silverware. Copper is alloyed with zinc to form brass and with tin in bronze and bell metal.

Curium, symbol Cm and atomic number 96, is a transuranic radioactive metal. It is named after Pierre and Marie Curie in recognition of their work on radioactivity. It was first intentionally produced in 1944 at the University of California, Berkeley and can be produced by bombarding uranium or plutonium with neutrons in nuclear reactors. It is a hard, dense, silvery metal with relatively high melting and boiling points. The known isotopes have half-lives ranging between 160 days and 15 million years.

Deuterium (symbol D) is the isotope of hydrogen with a nucleus consisting of a proton and one neutron, it is also called `heavy hydrogen'. The other isotopes are protium (normal hydrogen, no neutrons, H) and tritium (two neutrons, T). Deuterium is stable and accounts for one atom in 6420 of naturally occurring hydrogen. It was discovered and named in 1931 by Harold Urey, earning him a Nobel Prize in 1934. The nuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium, to form an alpha particle and a neutron, is accompanied by the release of an enormous amount of energy and this reaction has been used in thermonuclear weapons.

Didymium was discovered in cerite from Bastnas, Sweden by Carl Mosander in 1841 and wrongly believed to be an element. It was not until 1874 that Per Teodor Cleve deduced that didymium was made up of at least two elements and later, in 1885, Carl Auer von Welsbach succeeded in separating salts of these elements, which were soon named praseodymium and neodymium. Today didymium is used in safety glasses and photographic filters as it blocks part of the orange region of the spectrum.

Dubnium has the symbol Db and is now the official name for the element with atomic number 105. It is a super-heavy element whose isotopes have short half-lives, the longest known being 28 hours. It was first tentatively reported in 1968–1970 by Russian scientists at JINR, Dubna and again in 1970 by American scientists at Berkeley. Historically element 105 was called eka-tantalum, the Russians proposed neilsbohrium and the Americans hahnium so IUPAC adopted a temporary systematic name, unnilpentium, until the controversy could be resolved. In 1994 joliotium was proposed as a compromise but eventually, in 1997, dubnium was formalised as the official name.

Dysprosium from dysprositos meaning hard to get at, is a silver rare-earth metal; it has atomic number 66 and symbol Dy. It was first identified by the French scientist P-E Lecoq de Boisbaudran by separating it from ores also containing erbium, holmium and thulium. Though it was not until the 1950s that relatively samples were prepared by ion-exchange techniques. Dysprosium is used in control rods in nuclear reactors because of its ability to absorb neutrons.

Francium (symbol Fr, atomic number 87), from France, is the heaviest member of the alkali metal series and although it had long been postulated and known as eka-caesium, it was not conclusively `discovered' till 1939. It is highly radioactive with the most stable isotope having a half-life of only 22 minutes but occurs as part of the decay processes of uranium and thorium. There were many attempts to claim the discovery of this element (names suggested included russium, alkalinium, virginium and moldavium) but none were substantiated till Marguerite Perey of the Curie Institute in Paris studied the decay of actinium-227 and found a product exhibiting alkali metal properties.

Hafnium is a shiny, silvery, ductile metal that is corrosion-resistant and chemically similar to zirconium; it has atomic number 72 and symbol Hf. Hafnium was one of the last two non-radioactive elements to be discovered, and although it was predicted to exist by Mendeleev, it was not correctly identified until Coster and von Hevesy used x-ray sprectroscopic analysis on samples of zircon at Copenhagen in 1923. They named the element after the Latin name for Copenhagen, hafnia. Hafnium has a great appetite for absorbing neutrons and is used in control rods in nuclear reactors.

Hahnium is a name which was proposed for both elements 105 and 108 but was not finally adopted for either. The Americans proposed hahnium, after Otto Hahn, the discoverer of nuclear fission, for element 105, while the Russians proposed neilsbohrium. In 1994 the IUPAC Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry recommended hahnium for element 108 and joliotium for 105 but there were objections to these proposals and eventually in 1997 it was agreed that element 105 should be called dubnium and element 108 hassium.

Its name derives from the Greek word helios for the Sun as it was first identified as a new element by examining light from the Sun through a sprectroscope in the late 1860s. Helium occurs naturally from the decay of uranium and thorium but is so light it can escape the Earth's atmosphere. Helium is an odourless and colourless gas.

Hydrogen is the lightest element with atomic number 1 and symbol H. It occurs naturally in three isotopes, protium, deuterium and tritium and is the most abundant element in the universe. Although, in 1671, Robert Boyle had described the reaction of iron filing with acids, which releases hydrogen gas, it wasn't till 1766 that Henry Cavendish was the first to recognise hydrogen as a separate substance and he thought it was the hypothetical substance phlogiston. In 1783 Antoine Lavoisier coined the name hydrogen, from the greek words meaning `water forming'.

Iridium, symbol Ir and atomic number 77, is a very hard, brittle, silvery-white transition metal of the platinum group. Iridium was discovered in 1803 among insoluble impurities in natural platinum. Smithson Tennant, the primary discoverer, named iridium after the Greek goddess Iris, the personification of a rainbow, because of the striking and diverse colors of its salts. Iridium hardens other metals and an alloy of platinum and iridium was used for the international standards for the metre and kilogram.

Iron is the element with atomic number 26 and symbol Fe (from the latin ferrum) and is a metal in the first transition series. It is the Earth's most common element (by mass), forming much of Earth's outer and inner core and the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Iron is very common in rocky planets, like Earth, due to its abundant production as a result of fusion in high-mass stars and supernova explosions. It has been known for at least 5000 years although its tendency to rust means few ancient objects survive intact.

Kurchatovium, symbol (Ku), was the name proposed by Russian scientists for element 104 in honour of Igor Kurchatov (1903-1960), a former head of Soviet nuclear research. They first claimed to have discovered this element in 1966 at JINR, Dubna, but the results weren't fully conclusive. In 1969 the researchers at the University of California, Berkeley proved they had synthesized the element and proposed the name Rutherfordium in honor of New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford. After a protracted dispute, during which the element was temporarily called unnilquadium, IUPAC finally endorsed Rutherfordium as the official name for element 104.

Lanthanum, symbol La, atomic number 57, is the first member of the `lanthanide' series of rare-earth metals. It was discovered in 1839 by Swedish chemist Carl Mosander and its name derives from lanthanein meaning to lie hidden. Lanthanum is silvery white, malleable and ductile and is soft enough to be cut with a knife; it is one of the most reactive of the rare-earth metals and oxidises rapidly when exposed to air.

Livermorium, symbol Lv, is now the official name for element 116 which had previously been temporarily named as ununhexium. The temporary existence of a single atom of Livermorium was first detected in 2000 at Dubna when the scientists bombarded a curium target with calcium ions and observed the decay products. About 35 atoms have since been produced and identified. The name is in recognition of the work done at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US, in collaboration with JINR, Dubna, in Russia, in the production and identification of many of the super-heavy elements.

Lutetium, symbol Lu and atomic number 71, is the heaviest of the rare-earth metals. Its name is derived from lutetia an ancient name for Paris. Lutetium was first identified in 1907 as an impurity in ytterbia. Several scientist claimed the discovery but eventually the honour went to Georges Urbain of France as his results were published first. The spelling of his proposed name of lutecium was changed to lutetium in 1949. An alternative name cassiopeium (or cassiopium) which had been proposed by the Austrian mineralogist Baron von Welsbach was widely used in Germany until the 1950s.

Magnesium, symbol Mg and atomic number 12, is sivery-white lightweight metal in the alkaline earth series that ignites easily in air and burns with a bright light. The name originates from Magnesia, an area in Thessaly in Greece where magnetite and manganese are also found. The antisceptic properties of Epsom salts (hydrated magnesium sulphate) were recognised in the early 17th century but magnesium was not identified as an element separate from calcium until the work of Joseph Black in 1755. Sir Humphrey Davy was the first to isolate magnesium metal in 1808. Magnesium has many uses, for instance in lightweight alloys and fireworks, and is an essential element in both plant and animal life.

Manganese, symbol Mn and atomic number 25, derives its name from magnes an ore found in Magnesia in what is now in Greece. Manganese metal was first isolated in 1774 by Johan Gahn by reducing manganese oxide with carbon. Manganese is a silvery-grey metal that resembles iron and tarnishes and rusts in air. It is the 12th most common element in the Earth's crust and is used in iron and steel manufacture. It is an essential trace mineral in all forms of life.

Masurium (after Masuria in eastern Prussia, now in Poland) was the name given to element 43 by the German chemists, Noddack, Berg and Tache, when they claimed its discovery in 1925; later experimenters, however, could not replicate their results. This element does not occur naturally but it had been postulated since the 1860s from its position in Mendeleev's periodic tables. There had been several previous claims for its discovery but none had been substantiated. It was not till 1936 that the discovery this element was finally confirmed and in 1947 it was officially named as technetium, after a Greek word meaning `artificial', since it was the first element to be artificially produced.

Meitnerium was named in honor of the Austrian physicist Lise Meitner and is a transuranic element with symbol Mt and atomic number 109. It was first synthesized at GSI Darmstadt in 1982 by bombarding a target of bismuth-209 with accelerated nuclei of iron-58. The most stable isotope known is Mt-278, with a half-life of ~8 s. Meitnerium was formerly known as Unnilennium, with the symbol Une, and historically has been referred to as eka-iridium.

Nihonium, symbol Nh, is the proposed name (late 2016) for element 113. It was first created unambiguously at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science in Japan although there was an earlier claim from the Dubna–Livermore collaboration. The proposed the name is one of the two ways to say `Japan' in Japanese, and literally means `the Land of Rising Sun'. The Japanese experiments bombarded zinc nuclei into a thin film of bismuth. All known isotopes are unstable but the longest lived has a lifetime of about 20 seconds.

It was discovered in 1801 by the English chemist, Charles Hatchett who named it columbium. Because it was so similar to tantalum, there was some uncertainty whether columbium and tantalum were actually the same element, however, in 1846, the German chemist Heinrich Rose determined that tantalum ores did contain a second element which he named niobium. Later, in the 1860s, it was proved that columbium and niobium where the same element and different from tantalum. Both names were used until 1949 when niobium became the official name although some use of columbium remains. Niobium is a soft, grey, ductile transition metal. Its main uses are in steel production, superalloys and superconducting magnets.

From 1900 it had been noticed that the radioactive elements thorium, radium and actinium emanate a radioactive gas. The likeness of the spectra of these three gases with those of argon, krypton, and xenon, and their observed chemical inertness led Sir William Ramsay to suggest in 1904 that the `emanations' might contain a new element of the noble gas family (each emanation had been given a name although they were, in fact, different isotopes of the same element). In 1910 Sir William Ramsay and Robert Whytlaw-Gray isolated the gas and determined its density and found that it was the heaviest known gas. They suggested the name niton (Nt) (from the Latin "nitens" meaning "shining") as it causes the phosphorescence of some substances, however in 1923 radon (symbol Rn) was adopted as the official name for element 86.

Nitrogen, symbol N and atomic number 7, is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, and mostly inert diatomic gas which constitutes 78% by volume of the Earth's atmosphere. It was discovered in 1772 as a separable component of air by the Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford. The name nitrogen is derived from nitron and gen, meaning nitre forming. Although nitrogen is relatively inert, its compounds are many and varied and are vital to life occurring in amino acids and nucleic acids.

Nobelium, symbol No and atomic number 102, is a synthetic transuranic element and all its isotopes decay rapidly. Its discovery was first claimed by scientists from the Nobel Institute, Sweden, in 1957. Their claim was later retracted but the researchers at the University of California at Berkeley also claimed to have synthesised element 102 in 1958. By 1966 work at the FLNR Dubna, had conclusively proved the existence, albeit transiently, of this element. The Swedish team had used the name nobelium and this name was retained by the Berkeley group and, although the Dubna group were recognised as the `discoverers', the name nobelium was ratified as its official name by IUPAC in both 1994 and 1997.

Oganesson is the provisional (late 2016) name for the element with atomic number 118. It will have symbol Og and is named after Professor Yuri Oganessian for his pioneering contributions to transactinoid element research including the discovery of superheavy elements and advances in the nuclear physics of superheavy nuclei including experimental evidence for the `island of stability'. Three atoms of oganesson were produced in 2006 by bombarding californium-249 with calcium-48. The Og-294 produced had a half-life of 0.89 milliseconds. It is in group 18 of the periodic table (the noble gases), hence the -on ending of its name.

Oxygen from oxys and genes meaning acid forming. It has atomic number 8 and symbol O and in its diatomic form O2 constitutes 20.8% of the volume of air. It is the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust and the third most abundant in the Universe. Oxygen was discovered independently by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in Uppsala, in 1773 or earlier, and Joseph Priestley in Wiltshire, in 1774, but Priestley is often given priority because his work was published first. The name oxygen was coined in 1777 by Antoine Lavoisier, whose experiments with oxygen helped to discredit the then-popular phlogiston theory of combustion. See also ozone.

Promethium (symbol Pm, atomic number 61) is the only rare-earth metal not found in nature as all its isotopes are radioactive. It is named after Prometheus of Greek mythology who stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humans. Although it had been postulated that there should be an element in the periodic table between neodymium and samarium, it was not until 1945 that promethium was first identified at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, by using ion-exchange chromatography to separate it from the other fission products of uranium fuel taken from a nuclear reactor.

Protactinium is radioactive silver-grey metal with symbol Pa and atomic number 91. It occurs naturally in very small amounts as part of the decay process of uranium and thorium. The longest-lived isotope has a half-life of over 32000 years. Protactinium was first identified in 1913 by Fajans and Göhring and named brevium because of its short half-life; a longer-lived isotope was discovered by Hahn and Meitner in 1917–8 and called proto-actinium. IUPAC finally decided on protactinium, meaning `parent of actinium', in 1949.

Protium is the lightest isotope of hydrogen and its nucleus is just a proton with no neutrons. It is also known as hydrogen-1 and light hydrogen. It is the commonest isotope of hydrogen and because it appears to be a simple two-body system has been much studied in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.

Radium, atomic number 88 with symbol Ra, is a white alkaline earth metal which readily oxidizes in air, becoming black. All isotopes of radium are highly radioactive; the most stable isotope is radium-226, which has a half-life of 1601 years and decays into radon gas. It was discovered by the Curies in 1898 and occurs as a result of the decay of heavier elements such as uranium and thorium.

Radon, atomic number 86 with symbol Rd, is a radioactive, colourless, odourless noble gas occurring naturally as a decay product of radium. Its most stable isotope, 222Rn, has a half-life of 3.8 days and it is considered a health hazard due to this radioactivity. It was discover in 1900 by Friedrich Dorn although the Curies, the previous year, had noticed that the gas given off from radium remained radioactive for some time. Radon decays to polonium, but that is radioactive too and the ultimate stable product is lead.

Rhodium, atomic number 45 with symbol Rh, is a silvery-white, hard, and chemically inert transition metal in the platinum group. Its name is derived from the Greek rhodon meaning rose because of the rose colour of the solutions of its salts. It was discovered in 1803–4 by William Wollaston who isolated it from a crude platinum ore. Rhodium is resistant to corrision and is widely used in the catalytic converters.

Rutherfordium, with symbol Rf and atomic number 104, is named after the New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford. It is a synthetic radioactive element whose most stable known isotope has a half life of 1.3 hours. Rutherfordium was first reported by Russian scientists in 1964 and then conclusively synthesised at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1969. The competing claims to its discovery led to a naming controversy and kurchatovium, dubnium and unnilquadium were all proposed or used temporally for element 104 before rutherfordium was finally approved in 1997.

Samarium, with atomic number 62 and symbol Sm and is a silvery-white rare-earth metal. Samarium was discovered in 1879 by the French chemist Paul Lecoq de Boisbaudran and named after the mineral samarskite from which it was isolated. The mineral itself had been named after a Russian mine official, Colonel V E Samarsky. Samarium is the 40th most abundant element in the Earth's crust and its main use is in cobalt–samarium magnets which can withstand quite high temperatures without losing their magnetisation.

Seaborgium, has atomic number 106 and symbol Sg and it is a heavier homologue of tungsten. Seaborgium is named after Glenn T Seaborg, the leader of the American group that first synthesised several of the transuranic elements. Before seaborgium was recognised as the official name for element 106, unnilhexium was used for this element and IUPAC also proposed the name rutherfordium. Its longest-lived isotope has a half life of less than 2 minutes.

Selenium, has atomic number 34 and symbol Se; its name is derived from the Greek selene, meaning moon, because of its similarity to tellurium which is named after the earth. Selenium is a non-metal which can occur in several different forms or allotropes. It was discovered in 1817 by Berzelius and Gahn. The electrical conductivity of selenium varies with light and this makes it highly suitable for light-sensing cells and photoelectric devices.

Tantalum (symbol Ta, atomic number 73), is a shiny, silvery transition metal that is very resistant to corrosion. It is named after the legendary Greek king Tantalus. The discovery of tantalum was reported in 1802 by Anders Gustav Ekeberg at Uppsala University, Sweden. Tantalum is very similar to niobium, which had been discovered the previous year, and the discovery were disputed and it was not till 1846 that Heinrich Rose separated tantalum from niobium and proved conclusively that they were different elements. Tantalum is used in electronic components, surgical implants, handling corrosive materials and strong alloys.

Technetium (Tc), from technetos, meaning artificial is the lightest element (atomic number 43) without any stable isotopes, although the longest-lived isotopes have half-lives of over a million years. The existence of element 43 was postulated from a gap in the periodic table and early attempts to identify it were later proved to be failures. In 1925 a German team claim the discovery of element 43 and named it masurium, although later experimenters could replicate their work. Element 43 was finally definitively confirmed in 1936 by experimenters at the University of Palermo. They wanted to call the element panormium, after the latin for Palermo, but in 1947 it was officially named technetium, meaning `artificial', since it was the first element to be artificially produced.

Tennessine, symbol Ts, is the proposed name (late 2016) for the element with atomic number 117. Tennessine is named in recognition of the contribution of the Tennessee region, for example Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, to superheavy element research. In 2009, the first atoms of element 117 were made in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions in Dubna, Russia. Tennessine was made by a fusion reaction of calcium-48 with berkelium-249. In two separate experiments lasting 120 days, 6 atoms of tennessine were produced and these decay in less than 100 milliseconds. As a result of its position in Group 17 of the periodic table, tennessine is a member of the halogen group.

Terbium, symbol Tb and atomic number 65, is a silvery-white rare-earth metal that is malleable, ductile and soft enough to be cut with a knife. It is never found in nature as a free element, but is contained in various minerals. Terbium was discovered in 1843 by Swedish chemist Carl Mosander, who detected it as an impurity in yttrium oxide. It is named, along with three other elements: erbium, ytterbium and yttrium, after the village of Ytterby in Sweden where rare-earth minerals were quarried and mined.

Thallium derives its name from thallos, meaning young shoot, because of its bright green spectral line. It is the heavist member of the boron family with atomic number 81 and symbol Tl. Independently, both William Crookes and Claude-Auguste Lamy claimed the its discovery in 1861 by using flame spectroscopy on the residues from sulfuric acid production. Soluble thallium salts are highly toxic and were used as rat poison, although their used is now banned in most countries.

Tritium, symbol T or 3H, is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. The nucleus of tritium contains one proton and two neutrons, whereas the nucleus of protium (the commonest form of hydrogen) has just a single proton. The name of this isotope is formed from the Greek word `tritos' meaning `third'. Naturally occurring tritium is extremely rare on Earth but it is important in studies of nuclear fusion.

Unnilhexium, was a temporary name for element 106. Its discovery was first claimed in 1974 by both Russian and American groups. The Americans suggested the name seaborgium (Sg) to honour the American chemist Glenn T Seaborg, but this was opposed and so unnilhexium was used as a temporary systematic name. In 1994 a committee of IUPAC recommended that element 106 should be named rutherfordium but, in 1997, as part of a compromise involving elements 104 to 108, the name seaborgium was finally recognized for element 106.

Unnilpentium, was the temporary name for element 105. It was first synthesized and identified at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California. They proposed the name hahnium (symbol, Ha), honoring the German physicist Otto Hahn. A conflicting claim from Dubna urged the name nielsbohrium and in 1994 a panel of the IUPAC recommended it be called joliotium, for the French physicist Frederic Joliot-Curie. Eventually in 1997, the IUPAC Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry resolved that element 105 be called dubnium (symbol, Db), in honor of Dubna.

This element was first reportedly detected at JINR, Dubna in 1964 and conclusively synthesised by scientists at the University of Berkeley, California in 1969. The Russian group proposed the name kurchatovium and the Americans rutherfordium, while the competing claims were being argued over IUPAC adopted unnilquadium as the temporary systematic element name. The naming dispute was not finally settled until 1997 when rutherfordium was adopted as the name for 104 and the name dubnium was given to element 105.

Uranium, named after the planet Uranus, was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist, in the mineral pitchblende. It is the heaviest naturally occurring atom with atomic number 92, has symbol U, and is radioactive although the longest-lived isotope (238U) has a half-life of 4500 million years. The isotope 235U when struck by a neutron breaks into lighter elements and releases energy and further neutrons; this allow a chain reaction to take place and is the basis for nuclear power and weapons.

Virginium was a name proposed for element 87 by the American scientist Fred Allison when he claimed its discovery in 1930. However by 1934 his claim was proved to be false and the element was subsequently definitively identified by Marguerite Perey of the Curie Institute in Paris in 1939 and named francium.

Xenon, atomic number 54 and symbol Xe, is a member of the inert gas family. It was discover in 1898 by Sir William Ramsey and Morris Travers. Its name is derived from the Greek word meaning stranger. Xenon is present in air in very small amounts and was identified by repeated distillation of liquid air. It is a colourless odourless gas which is used in some specialist light sources.

Yttrium, symbol Y and atomic number 39, is a silver rare-earth metal, it is named after Ytterby in Sweden, near where the ore from which it was first extracted was found. Johan Gadolin extracted yttrium's oxide in 1789 from a new mineral found two years earlier. Elemental yttrium was first isolated in 1828 by Friedrich Wöhler. Yttrium is used in the production of a large variety of synthetic garnets, it is also used in colour tubes for televisions, high-temperature superconductors and cancer treatments.

Zinc, the name is derived from the German zin for tin, has atomic number 30 and symbol Zn; it is a silvery-white metal with a blue tinge. Zinc has been known for at least 2000 years and was recognised as a metal in India about 1000 years ago. Zinc refining was carried out extensively in China in the 1500s but as far as Europe was concerned the discovery of zinc is credited to the German chemist Andreas Marggraf in 1746. Zinc is used extensively to galvanise other metals to stop rusting.

Zirconium, from Zircon, the semi-precious gemstone in which it was discovered in 1789, is a lustrous, grey-white, transition metal with atomic number 40. It is often used in alloys due to its high resistance to corrosion and is also used in the nuclear industry because it is relatively unaffected by neutrons.
