&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The naming of the elements is a fascinating history. Interested readers are advised to consult PT Atkins&amp;#039;s delightful book, [http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;amp;ct=res&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPeriodic-Kingdom-Journey-Chemical-Elements%2Fdp%2F0465072666&amp;amp;ei=FjjKR93DE6aIevONxAo&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNGsCC5wUh77KWqNgQoFwOrbtFEYWg&amp;amp;sig2=SuXFCzU1h_dFgCJsYXdZ-Q The Periodic Kingdom], for more info. Also, [http://gperiodic.seul.org/ GPeriodic] is one hell of a useful little tool -- props!&lt;br /&gt;
