| Some scientists still use the earlier name of hahnium because it had been used for about 25 years. |
|
| Consequently, hahnium has a chance of rejoining the periodic table, and even the French joliotium might make into the pantheon. |
|
| The originally proposed names of these elements by IUPAC were, in order, dubnium, joliotium, rutherfordium, bohrium, hahnium, and meiterium. |
|
| The same is true of element 105, called hahnium by one group and nielsbohrium by the other. |
|
| The heaviest element whose discovery has been previously confirmed is element 105, hahnium. |
|
| Elements 107 through 109 will bear the names bohrium, hahnium, and meitnerium, respectively. |
|
| I am sure most of you can guess what happened next: hahnium was the name that most American and Western European scientists used whereas nielsbohrium was used in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries. |
|
| From its assigned position in the periodic table, hahnium ought to behave like its stable neighbor tantalum. |
|
| The group is now analyzing data from a second experiment with seaborgium, and continuing its work on rutherfordium, and hahnium. |
