Facts about the
Definition of the Element Einsteinium
The Element Einsteinium is defined as...
A synthetic transuranic element first produced by neutron
irradiation of uranium in a thermonuclear explosion and now
usually produced in the laboratory by irradiating plutonium and
other elements.

Facts about the
Classification of the Element Einsteinium
Einsteinium classified as an element in the Actinide series as one
of the "Rare Earth Elements" which can located in Group 3 elements
of the Periodic Table and in the 6th and 7th periods. The Rare
Earth Elements are of the Lanthanide and Actinide series. Most of
the elements in the Actinide series are synthetic or man-made.

Facts and Info about
the element Argon - IUPAC and the Modern Standardised Periodic Table
The Standardised Periodic Table in use today was agreed by the
International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry, IUPAC, in 1985
which includes the Einsteinium element. The famous Russian Scientist,
Dimitri Mendeleev, perceived the correct classification method of
"the periodic table" for the 65 elements which were known in his
time. Einsteinium was first identified in 1952 by Albert Ghiorso
at the University of California, Berkeley and another team headed
by G.R. Choppin at Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA. The Standardised Periodic Table now recognises more periods
and elements than Dimitri Mendeleev knew in his day but still all
fitting into his concept of the "Periodic Table" in which
Einsteinium is
just one element that can be found.
