Facts about the Definition of the Element Fermium The Element Fermium is defined as... A radioactive metallic element artificially produced, as by bombardment of plutonium with neutrons. The most common use of Fermium is for research. |
Interesting Facts about the Origin and Meaning of the element name Fermium What are the origins of the word Fermium ? Named in honour of Enrico Fermi, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Rome and Nobel Prize winner whose work resulted in the discovery of slow neutrons leading to the discovery of nuclear fission and the production of elements lying beyond what was until 1938 the Periodic Table.

Facts about the Classification of the Element Fermium Fermium 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. |

Facts and Info about the element Fermium - 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 Fermium 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. Fermium was discovered Albert Ghiorso in the USA in 1952. 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 Fermium is just one element that can be found. |
