What are the origins of the word Mendelevium ?
Named in honour of Dmitri Mendeleev
Facts about the
Classification of the Element Mendelevium
Mendelevium 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.

The element Mendelevium and the Periodic Table
Find out more facts about Mendelevium on the Periodic Table which
arranges every chemical element according to its atomic number, as
based on the periodic law, so that chemical elements with similar
properties are in the same column. Our Periodic Table is simple to
use - just click on the symbol for Mendelevium for additional facts and
info and for an instant comparison of the Atomic Weight, Melting
Point, Boiling Point and Mass - G/cc of Mendelevium with any other
element. An invaluable source for more interesting facts and

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 Mendelevium 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. Mendelevium was first synthesized in the USA by Albert
Ghiorso (team leader), Glenn T. Seaborg, Bernard Harvey, and Greg
Choppin in 1955. Discovery credited to Glenn T. Seaborg. 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
Mendelevium is
just one element that can be found.
