The name originates from the Latin name for the German state of
Hessen.
Facts about the
Classification of the Element Hassium
Hassium is classified as a "Transition Metal" which are located in
Groups 3 - 12 of the Periodic Table. An Element classified as a
Transition Metals is ductile, malleable, and able to conduct
electricity and heat.

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 Hassium 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. Hassium was discovered by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried
Münzenberg at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research at Darmstadt,
Germany in 1984. 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
Hassium is
just one element that can be found.
