Boy these guys need to get a life... Element 105 - Dubnium was synthesized by a Soviet team in 1968 was re-synthesized by the same Soviet team in 1970, and called Neilsbohrium Element 105 - Hahnium was synthesized by A US team in 1970 The name Joliotium was recommended in 1994 The name Dubnium was finally accepted in 1997 Steve Creswick http://www.linkedin.com/in/stevencreswick 616 834 1883 -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David D.

This element has been produced by bombarding americium-243 with neon-22 atoms and bombarding californium-249 with nitrogen-15 atoms. The element was "finally" named in 1997. The longest lived isotope of this element has a half life of 34 seconds. Bonus Question: List the two names that were used for this element prior to 1997. The quiz winner will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have: Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings - accomplished nothing (drank lots of coffee) Week 2 Bev Christian, RIM - conducted REACH material testing Week 3 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Inc. - Solderability testing and mowed the lawn Week 4 Ian Fox, Goodrich - had an epic journey of travel Week 4 Gary Ferrari, Garrick Global - unknown Week 5 Fredrick Miller, Astrolab - unknown Week 6 David Nelson, Raytheon - Were tackling dummys for Dallas Cowboys Week 7 Graham Collins, L3 Communications - Cleaned gutters and painted window trim Week 8 Bill Noel, ITT Geospatial Systems Division - unknown Week 9 Steve Gregory of RD Circuits - unknown Week 10 David Bealer of Watchfire Signs - descaled the in-line wash machine!
