1969Science 5 Dec. 1254/1 Scientists from the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory of the University of California announced results of chemical experiments on element 104 and used the occasion [sc. 17–19 Nov. 1969] to propose a new name. Albert Ghiorso..suggested that the element be called rutherfordium for Lord Rutherford ‘the great pioneer of nuclear science’. 1970A. Ghiorso et al. in Physics Lett. XXXII. B. 95/1 We have proposed that the element 104 be named rutherfordium. 1971Inorg. & Nuclear Chem. Lett. VII. 1115 As not until 1969 did the American researchers at Berkeley also succeed in obtaining element 104..there is no ground to use the name rutherfordium proposed by them. 1971Nature 26 Feb. 603/1 Certain questions have been raised regarding the validity of our work on the discovery of two alpha-emitting isotopes of element 104 (rutherfordium). 1975[see nielsbohrium]. |
