Element Names
Technetium
derived it's name from the Greek word technetos
meaning artificial. Tc-99m was the first
element to be artificially produced.
Several elements were named from the color of
their spectrum. Indium gets its name from the
brilliant indigo line, thallium from the
Greek word thallos meaning a green shoot
or twig and iodine from the Greek word iodes,
meaning violet. Many elements in the
periodic table are named for geographic
locations. Ytterium was named for the
Swedish village Ytterby. Strontium
was named for Strontian, Scotland, and Gallium
was named for France, Gallia being the
Latin word for France. |
