What Chemical Element Are You?

Our world consists of various elements, which are arranged in the periodic table according to atomic numbers. Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev devised the periodic table in 1869. Since then, more than 170 versions of periodic tables have been proposed. In summary, the short form was proposed by Mendeleev, the long form by Werner, the specialty table by Poltar, the planar spiral table and round table by Dammenkov, and the dimensional periodic table represented by Lacey's taper column.

What element are you on the periodic table? Test yourself and see! Answer the following questions according to your own true situation and if the available answers do not completely match, choose the one that is closest.

• H7020911_1.008_1HydrogenOther nonmetalsYou love adventure and you’re also good at collecting information, consequently, you’re quick to change your mind. Just like hydrogen!1766Discovered by Henry Cavendish via a metal-acid reaction.Hydrogen is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and atomic number 1. With an atomic weight of 1.00794 u, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. Its monatomic form (H) is the most abundant chemical substance in the Universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass. Non-remnant stars are mainly composed of hydrogen in the plasma state. The most common isotope of hydrogen, termed protium (name rarely used, symbol 1H), has one proton and no neutrons.
• He0010732_4.002602_2HeliumNoble gasesYou are introspective and calm. When you face challenges you are super cool and are always able to make rational judgments. Just like one of the rare gases, helium!1868Helium was first discovered on the sun. French astronomer Pierre-Jules-César Janssen noticed a yellow line in the sun's spectrum while studying a total solar eclipse in 1868.Helium is a chemical element with symbol He and atomic number 2. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas, the first in the noble gas group in the periodic table. Its boiling point is the lowest among all the elements.
• Li7722233_6.94_2,1LithiumAlkali metalNo matter who you're with, be it friends or workmates, you're always the heart of the group. You have a natural talent for communication - just like lithium.1817Lithium was discovered in 1817 by Johann August Arfvedson who found it in the mineral petalite."Lithium (from Greek: λίθος lithos, "stone") is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silver-white metal belonging to the alkali metal group of chemical elements. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable. For this reason, it is typically stored in mineral oil. When cut open, it exhibits a metallic luster, but contact with moist air corrodes the surface quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. Because of its high reactivity, lithium never occurs freely in nature, and instead, appears only in compounds, which are usually ionic."
• Be5391314_9.0121831_2,2BerylliumAlkaline earth metalNo matter who you're with, be it friends or workmates, you're always the heart of the group. You have a natural talent for communication - just like beryllium.1798Beryllium was discovered in 1798 by French chemist Louis Nicolas Vauquelin, who found it in the oxide form in beryl and a green-colored variety of beryl, emerald.Beryllium is a chemical element with symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe, usually occurring as a product of the spallation of larger atomic nuclei that have collided with cosmic rays. Within the cores of stars beryllium is depleted as it is fused and creates larger elements. It is a divalent element which occurs naturally only in combination with other elements in minerals. Notable gemstones which contain beryllium include beryl (aquamarine, emerald) and chrysoberyl. As a free element it is a steel-gray, strong, lightweight and brittle alkaline earth metal.
• B3143235_10.81_2,3BoronMetalloidsYou can be easily persuaded by others and you're a bit of an easy target for this. But once others really get to know you, they realise you can’t be so easily controlled. Just like boron.1808Boron was discovered independently in 1808 by different scientists. French chemists Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis-Jaques Thénard, and English chemist Sir Humphry Davy isolated the element.Boron is a chemical element with symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar system and in the Earth's crust. Boron is concentrated on Earth by the water-solubility of its more common naturally occurring compounds, the borate minerals. These are mined industrially as evaporites, such as borax and kernite. The largest known boron deposits are in Turkey, the largest producer of boron minerals.
• C1413416_12.011_2,4CarbonOther nonmetalsYou are natural and low-key, something of a mystery - well, this is the feeling you give others. At first glance, you appear ordinary, but once people get to know you, your many qualities can’t be ignored. Just like carbon.Prehistoric timesCarbon was first discovered as charcoal in prehistoric times."Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. Three isotopes occur naturally, 12C and 13C being stable while 14C is a radioactive isotope, decaying with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity."
• N2100807_14.007_2,5NitrogenOther nonmetalsYou’re the silent type, and others may not always be aware you’re there, but with your observant nature and clear perception, you absorb everything that goes on around you. Just like nitrogen.1772Nitrogen was discovered in 1772 by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford."Nitrogen is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7. It was first discovered and isolated by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772. Although Carl Wilhelm Scheele and Henry Cavendish had independently done so at about the same time, Rutherford is generally accorded the credit because his work was published first. The name nitrogen was suggested by Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal in 1790, when it was found that nitrogen was present in nitric acid and nitrates; this name derives from the Greek roots νἰτρον "nitre" and "γεννᾶν "to form"."
• O3200818_15.999_2,6OxygenOther nonmetalsLike salt, you are an indispensable part of our lives. You exist quietly all around us, observing. You are like oxygen.1772 – 1774Oxygen was first discovered in 1772 by Carl W. Scheele in Sweden, but this went unpublished. It was again discovered two years later by Joseph Priestley in England. Scheele had heated several compounds including potassium nitrate, manganese oxide, and mercury oxide and found they released a gas which enhanced combustion.Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table and is a highly reactive nonmetal and oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as other compounds. By mass, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas with the formula O2. This is an important part of the atmosphere and diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.8% of the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, as oxides the element makes up almost half of the Earth's crust.
• F9217719_18.998403163_2,7FluorineHalogensYou are enthusiastic and have a high respect for the truth, and get along with most people. You are just like fluorine.1886Fluorine was discovered in 1886 by French chemist Henri Moissan, who collected the gas by passing an electric current through one of its compounds, hydrogen fluoride.Fluorine is a chemical element with symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. As the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
• Ne20109010_20.1797_2,8NeonNoble gasesYou judge things objectively with vision and a sense of calm. You are just like neon.1898Neon was discovered by Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay and English chemist Morris Travers not long after they discovered krypton in 1898. Like krypton, neon was discovered through the study of liquefied air."Neon is a chemical element with symbol Ne and atomic number 10. It is in group 18 (noble gases) of the periodic table.[9] Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, with about two-thirds the density of air. It was discovered (along with krypton and xenon) in 1898 as one of the three residual rare inert elements remaining in dry air, after nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide were removed. Neon was the second of these three rare gases to be discovered, and was immediately recognized as a new element from its bright red emission spectrum. The name neon is derived from the Greek word, νέον, neuter singular form of νέος (neos), meaning new. Neon is chemically inert and forms no uncharged chemical compounds. "
• Na41122111_22.98976928_2,8,1SodiumAlkali metalYou have an explosive temper, and though these fits of passion come and go quickly, it's easy to scare off strangers. You are like the lively sodium.1808Sodium was first isolated in 1807 by Sir Humphry Davy, who found it by electrolysing dry molten sodium hydroxide, which lead to sodium collecting at the cathode.Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table, because it has a single electron in its outer shell that it readily donates, creating a positively charged atom—the Na+ cation. Its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature, but must be prepared from compounds. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite and rock salt (NaCl). Many salts of sodium are highly water-soluble: sodium ions have been leached by the action of water from the Earth's minerals over eons, and thus sodium and chlorine are the most common dissolved elements by weight in the oceans.
• Mg83421112_24.305_2,8,2MagnesiumAlkaline earth metalYou have a little problem controlling your emotions, and though these bursts of passion come and go in a flash, you often scare off strangers. You are like lively magnesium.1808Magnesium was isolated by Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829) in 1808 almost 200 years after its discovery. He electrolysed a mixture of magnesia and mercuric oxide.Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column (Group 2, or alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table: all Group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure.
• Al65323113_26.9815385_2,8,3AluminumPost-transition metalsYou represent youth and energy, and you're often impulsive and reckless. But, hey, isn't this the price of youth? You're just like aluminium.1827Scientists suspected than an unknown metal existed in alum as early as 1787 but it took almost 40 years for someone to learn how to extract it. In 1825, Danish chemist Hans Christian Oersted became the first person to produce tiny amounts of aluminum.Aluminium or aluminum (in North American English) is a chemical element in the boron group with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal. Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust (after oxygen and silicon) and its most abundant metal. Aluminium makes up about 8% of the crust by mass, though it is less common in the mantle below. Aluminium metal is so chemically reactive that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite.
• Si46616014_28.085_2,8,4SiliconMetalloidsWherever you are, you're the pillar of the group and you handle matters maturely. You're just like silicon.1823Silicon was discovered in 1824 by Swedish chemist Jöns Berzelius, who heated chips of potassium in a silica container and then carefully washed away the residual by-products.Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and atomic number 14. A hard and brittle crystalline solid with a blue-gray metallic luster, it is a tetravalent metalloid. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table, along with carbon above it and germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium below. It is rather unreactive, though less so than germanium, and has great chemical affinity for oxygen.
• P73257015_30.973761998_2,8,5PhosphorusOther nonmetalsEven if no one is paying attention to you, you still have your own brilliance. You are free from the restraints of materialism and can amuse yourself. You are truly like phosphorus.1669Germany's Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus in 1669 by preparing it from urine.Phosphorus is a chemical element with symbol P and atomic number 15. As an element, phosphorus exists in two major forms—white phosphorus and red phosphorus—but because it is highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth. At 0.099%, phosphorus is the most abundant pnictogen in the Earth's crust. With few exceptions, minerals containing phosphorus are in the maximally oxidised state as inorganic phosphate rocks.
• S53456116_32.06_2,8,6SulfurOther nonmetalsYou are well rounded and completely balanced. Among friends you're not the center of attention and yet you are also not hiding in a corner. You are a gentle dose of harmony. Just like sulfur.Ancient timesSulfur has been known since ancient times.Sulfur or sulphur (see spelling differences) is a chemical element with symbol S and atomic number 16. It is an abundant, multivalent nonmetal. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow crystalline solid at room temperature. Chemically, sulfur reacts with all elements except for gold, platinum, iridium, tellurium and the noble gases.

You're like chlorine.1774Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by Carl Scheele. He obtained it through the reaction of the mineral pyrolusite with hydrochloric acid.Chlorine is a chemical element with symbol Cl and atomic number 17. The second-lightest of the halogens, it appears between fluorine and bromine in the periodic table and its properties are mostly intermediate between them. Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. It is an extremely reactive element and a strong oxidising agent: among the elements, it has the highest electron affinity and the third-highest electronegativity, behind only oxygen and fluorine.
• Ar10009018_39.948_2,8,8ArgonNoble gasesOthers do not possess your particular skill - an ability to focus on the matter at hand and never be drawn aside by distractions. You are argon.1894Argon was discovered in 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay. They isolated it by examining the residue obtained by removing nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water from clean air.Argon is a chemical element with symbol Ar and atomic number 18. It is in group 18 of the periodic table and is a noble gas. Argon is the third most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere, at 0.934% (9340 ppmv) more than twice as abundant as water vapor (which averages about 4000 ppmv, but varies greatly), 23 times as abundant as carbon dioxide (400 ppmv), and more than 500 times as abundant as neon (18 ppmv). Argon is the most abundant noble gas in Earth's crust, comprising 0.00015% of the crust.
• K63721019_30.0983_2,8,8,1PotassiumAlkali metalYou create happiness wherever you go, but your anxious personality can lead to misunderstandings. You are like potassium.1807Potassium metal was first isolated in 1807 by England's Sir Humphry Davy, who derived it from caustic potash by electrolysis of molten KOH with voltaic pile.Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K (derived from Neo-Latin, kalium) and atomic number 19. It was first isolated from potash, the ashes of plants, from which its name derives. In the periodic table, potassium is one of the alkali metals. All of the alkali metals have a single valence electron in the outer electron shell, which is easily removed to create an ion with a positive charge – a cation, which combines with anions to form salts. Potassium in nature occurs only in ionic salts. Elemental potassium is a soft silvery-white alkali metal that oxidizes rapidly in air and reacts vigorously with water, generating sufficient heat to ignite hydrogen emitted in the reaction and burning with a lilac-colored flame. It is found dissolved in sea water (which is 0.04% potassium by weight), and is part of many minerals.
• Ca66823120_40.078_2,8,8,2CalciumAlkaline earth metalYou often form your own opinion but can also often be easily persuaded by others, simply because of your own feelings rather than actual facts - just like calcium.1808Calcium was first isolated in 1808 in England by Sir Humphry Davy who electrolyzed a mixture of lime and mercuric oxide.Calcium is a chemical element with symbol Ca and atomic number 20. Calcium is a soft gray Group 2 alkaline earth metal, fifth-most-abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. The ion Ca2+ is also the fifth-most-abundant dissolved ion in seawater by both molarity and mass, after sodium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfate. Free calcium metal is too reactive to occur in nature. Calcium is produced in supernova nucleosynthesis.
• Sc57923421_44.955908_2,8,9,2ScandiumTransition metalYou don't like to use cold hard facts but prefer to use the clues right in front of you to draw your conclusions. You're extremely logical and others find it hard to argue with you. On this you resemble scandium.1876Scandium was discovered by Lars F. Nilson in 1879 in Sweden. Nilson was studying the rare earth elements, attempting to isolate ytterbium from the minerals euxenite and gadolinite.Scandium is a chemical element with symbol Sc and atomic number 21. A silvery-white metallic d-block element, it has historically been sometimes classified as a rare earth element, together with yttrium and the lanthanides. It was discovered in 1879 by spectral analysis of the minerals euxenite and gadolinite from Scandinavia.

You are like titanium.1791Titanium was discovered in Great Britain in 1791 by William Gregor. It was named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth after the Titans of Greek mythology.Titanium is a chemical element with symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density and high strength. It is highly resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine.
• V39913323_50.9415_2,8,11,2VanadiumTransition metalYou are extremely stubborn and set in your ways, resisting change even when it seems that the task at hand is impossible to finish. Because of this, your relationships with other can be brittle. You are like vanadium.1830Vanadium was discovered in Mexico 1801 by Spanish scientist Andres Manuel del Rio. Del Rio discovered the element in brown lead ore (now known to be vanadinite)..Vanadium is a chemical element with symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a hard, silvery grey, ductile, and malleable transition metal. The elemental metal is rarely found in nature, but once isolated artificially, the formation of an oxide layer (passivation) stabilizes the free metal somewhat against further oxidation.
• Cr17922024_51.9961_2,8,13,1ChromiumTransition metalYou're like a large crab, brandishing your claws. Your thick shell protects you from others. Once you are captured by others, however, you discard your outer shell to reveal a tender side. You are like chromium.1797Chromium was discovered in 1797 by Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin while he was experimenting with a material known as Siberian red lead, also known as the mineral crocoite. He produced chromium oxide by mixing crocoite with hydrochloric acid.Chromium is a chemical element with symbol Cr and atomic number 24. It is the first element in Group 6. It is a steely-grey, lustrous, hard and brittle metal which takes a high polish, resists tarnishing, and has a high melting point. The name of the element is derived from the Greek word χρῶμα, chrōma, meaning color, because many of the compounds are intensely colored.
• Mn47941125_54,938044_2,8,13,2ManganeseTransition metalYou are the thinker of the crowd and stick to your own opinions, but sometimes because you haven't taken reality into account, your opinion can be lopsided. You're just like manganese.1774In 1774 Carl Wilhelm Scheele first proposed the existence of a new element, however, manganese was officially discovered later that year by Johan Gottlieb Gahn, a Swedish chemist, by heating the mineral pyrolusite in the presence of charcoal.Manganese is a chemical element with symbol Mn and atomic number 25. It is not found as a free element in nature; it is often found in minerals in combination with iron. Manganese is a metal with important industrial metal alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels.

Neodymium is not found naturally in metallic form or unmixed with other lanthanides, and it is usually refined for general use. Although neodymium is classed as a rare earth, it is a fairly common element, no rarer than cobalt, nickel, and copper, and is widely distributed in the Earth's crust. Most of the world's commercial neodymium is mined in China.
• Pm25334461_(145)_2,8,18,23,8,2PromethiumLanthanoidsYou rarely place any importance on minor details and pay more attention to the big picture. In most cases things work out well, but occasionally your overlooking of details backfires on you, and only then do you look more closely. You are just like promethium.1945The existence of promethium was predicted in 1902 by Czech chemist Bohuslav Brauner. Several groups claimed to have produced the element, but they could not confirm their discoveries because of the difficulty of separating promethium from other elements. Proof of the existence of promethium was obtained by Jacob A. Marinsky, Lawrence E. Glendenin and Charles D. Coryell in 1944. But busy with research in World War II, they did not claim their discovery until 1946.Promethium, originally prometheum, is a chemical element with the symbol Pm and atomic number 61. All of its isotopes are radioactive; it is one of only two such elements that are followed in the periodic table by elements with stable forms, a distinction shared with technetium. Chemically, promethium is a lanthanide, which forms salts when combined with other elements. Promethium shows only one stable oxidation state of +3; however, a few +2 compounds may exist.

He suspected that samples of a recently discovered element, samarium, were contaminated with an unknown element. He was able to produce fairly pure europium by 1901.Europium is a chemical element with symbol Eu and atomic number 63. It was isolated in 1901 and is named after the continent of Europe. It is a moderately hard, silvery metal which readily oxidizes in air and water. Being a typical member of the lanthanide series, europium usually assumes the oxidation state +3, but the oxidation state +2 is also common. All europium compounds with oxidation state +2 are slightly reducing. Europium has no significant biological role and is relatively non-toxic compared to other heavy metals. Most applications of europium exploit the phosphorescence of europium compounds.

Polonium was the first element discovered by Curie and it was named after her birthplace, Poland.Polonium is a chemical element with symbol Po and atomic number 84. A rare and highly radioactive metal with no stable isotopes, polonium is chemically similar to selenium and tellurium, though it also shows resemblances to its horizontal neighbors thallium, lead, and bismuth due to its metallic character. Due to the short half-life of all its isotopes, its natural occurrence is limited to tiny traces of the fleeting polonium-210 (with a half-life of 138 days) in uranium ores, as it is the penultimate daughter of natural uranium-238. Though slightly longer-lived isotopes exist, they are much more difficult to produce. Today, polonium is more often produced in milligram quantities by the neutron irradiation of bismuth. Due to its intense radioactivity, which results in radiolysis of chemical bonds and immense radioactive self-heating, its chemistry has mostly been investigated on the trace scale only.

It is the sixth element in group 2 of the periodic table, also known as the alkaline earth metals. Pure radium is silvery-white, but it readily combines with nitrogen (rather than oxygen) on exposure to air, forming a black surface layer of radium nitride (Ra3N2). All isotopes of radium are highly radioactive, with the most stable isotope being radium-226, which has a half-life of 1600 years and decays into radon gas (specifically the isotope radon-222). When radium decays, ionizing radiation is a product, which can excite fluorescent chemicals and cause radioluminescence.

It was discovered in 1829 by the Norwegian priest and amateur mineralogist Morten Thrane Esmark and identified by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, who named it after Thor, the Norse god of thunder.
• Pa49736491_231.03588_2,8,18,32,20,9,2ProtactiniumActinideYou conduct yourself strictly and are highly conscientious, but you don't understand the importance being flexible in different situations. If you encounter some kind of setback or frustration, you are unyielding. You are just like protactinium.1917Discovery of protactinium is attributed to Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner, who discovered another isotope of protactinium, 231-Pa, in 1917. The element wasn't isolated until 1934, by Aristid von Grosse.Protactinium or protoactinium (former name) is a chemical element with symbol Pa and atomic number 91. It is a dense, silvery-gray metal which readily reacts with oxygen, water vapor and inorganic acids. It forms various chemical compounds where protactinium is usually present in the oxidation state +5, but can also assume +4 and even +2 or +3 states. The average concentrations of protactinium in the Earth's crust is typically on the order of a few parts per trillion, but may reach up to a few parts per million in some uraninite ore deposits. Because of its scarcity, high radioactivity and high toxicity, there are currently no uses for protactinium outside of scientific research, and for this purpose, protactinium is mostly extracted from spent nuclear fuel.
• U89627192_238.02891_2,8,18,32,21,9,2UraniumActinideYou are the flame of your group, you're outgoing and spontaneous. You love talking to people and are always the source of all the news. You are just like uranium.1789Martin Klaproth discovered uranium in 1789. He found it in the mineral pitchblende and named the new element after the planet Uranus. Eugène-Melchior Péligot was the first person to isolate the metal and its radioactive properties were discovered in 1896 by Henri Becquerel.Uranium is a chemical element with symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a silvery-white metal in the actinide series of the periodic table. A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, of which 6 are valence electrons. Uranium is weakly radioactive because all its isotopes are unstable (with half-lives of the six naturally known isotopes, uranium-233 to uranium-238, varying between 69 years and 4.5 billion years). The most common isotopes in natural uranium are uranium-238 (which has 146 neutrons and accounts for over 99%) and uranium-235 (which has 143 neutrons). Uranium has the highest atomic weight of the primordially occurring elements. Its density is about 70% higher than that of lead, and slightly lower than that of gold or tungsten. It occurs naturally in low concentrations of a few parts per million in soil, rock and water, and is commercially extracted from uranium-bearing minerals such as uraninite.
• Np49927493_(237)_2,8,18,32,22,9,2NeptuniumActinideYou're a little on the plain side, but you are indispensable. You are cultured and elegant and overflow with fine inner qualities. You are just like neptunium.1940Neptunium was the first synthetic transuranium element (elements after uranium) of the actinide series to be discovered. Neptunium was first produced by Edwin McMillan and Philip H. Abelson in 1940 at the University of California's Berkeley Radiation Laboratory.Neptunium is a chemical element with symbol Np and atomic number 93. A radioactive actinide metal, neptunium is the first transuranic element. Its position in the periodic table just after uranium, named after the planet Uranus, led to it being named after Neptune, the next planet beyond Uranus. A neptunium atom has 93 protons and 93 electrons, of which seven are valence electrons. Neptunium metal is silvery and tarnishes when exposed to air. The element occurs in three allotropic forms and it normally exhibits five oxidation states, ranging from +3 to +7. It is radioactive, poisonous, pyrophoric, and can accumulate in bones, which makes the handling of neptunium dangerous.

You're just like plutonium.Late 1940 – early 1941Plutonium was discovered in 1941 by Dr. Glenn Seaborg and Edwin McMillan, Kennedy, and Wahl by deuteron bombardment of uranium in the 60-inch cyclotron of the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, but the discovery was kept secret.Plutonium is a transuranic radioactive chemical element with symbol Pu and atomic number 94. It is an actinide metal of silvery-gray appearance that tarnishes when exposed to air, and forms a dull coating when oxidized. The element normally exhibits six allotropes and four oxidation states. It reacts with carbon, halogens, nitrogen, silicon and hydrogen. When exposed to moist air, it forms oxides and hydrides that can expand the sample up to 70% in volume, which in turn flake off as a powder that is pyrophoric. It is radioactive and can accumulate in bones, which makes the handling of plutonium dangerous.
