	Chemical elements named after people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many chemical elements are named after astronomical bodies which are named after Greek or Roman deities.
		Gadolinium (Gd, 64) is named from the mineral gadolinite, which in turn is named after the Finnish chemist and geologist Johan Gadolin.
		Samarium (Sm, 62) is named from the mineral samarskite which in turn is named after Colonel Samarski, a Russian mine official.

		The atomic mass of an element, A, is measured in unified atomic mass units (u) is the average mass of all the atoms of the element in an environment of interest (usually the earth's crust and atmosphere).
		The 23 elements not found on earth are derived artificially; the first purportedly synthesized element was technetium, in 1937, although the trace amounts of naturally occurring technetium were not known then.
		The naming of elements precedes the atomic theory of matter, although at the time it was not known which chemicals were elements and which compounds.

		However, atoms of the same element may differ in the number of neutrons, and are known as isotopes of the element.
		The atomic mass of an element, A, is measured in unified atomic mass units (u) and is roughly equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of the element.
		Atoms of the same element whose nuclei contain a different number of neutrons are said to be different isotopes of the element.

		The official names of the chemical elements are decided by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, which generally adopts the name chosen by the discoverer.
		The full name of the element is not capitalized, even if it is derived from a proper noun (unless it would be capitalized by some other rule, for instance if it begins a sentence).

	History of the Origin of the Chemical Elements and Their Discoverers
		It is the eighth element in the Actinide series of the elements and was named in analogy with Terbium (for Ytterby the town in Sweden whose mine produced the ore), which is the eighth element in the Lanthanide series of the elements.
		Auer von Welsbach named the element cassiopeium for the constellation "Cassiopeia".
		The name derives from the Greek osme for "smell" because of the sharp odor of the volatile oxide.

	Chemical element (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A chemical element''', often called simply '''element, is a substance that cannot be divided or changed into different substances by ordinary chemistrychemical methods.
		The smallest particle of such an element is an atom, which consists of electrons centered around a nucleus of protons and neutron/s.
		The atomic mass of an element, ''A'', is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and is roughly equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of the element.

		Some elements are named after the compound that they came from, or some attribute of it.
		Other elements are named after some aspect of the way in which the element was found.
		The naming of chemical elements is a matter of national and professional pride, however, and selecting a name these days requires a lot of bickering and bargaining.
