History & Etymology
First prepared in 1981 by Gottfried Münzenberg, Sigurd Hofmann, Fritz Peter Heßberger, Willibrord Reisdorf, Karl-Heinz Schmidt, J.R.H. Schneider, W.F.W. Schneider, Peter Armbruster, Christoph-Clemens Sahm, and B. Thuma at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany. The systematic IUPAC name was Unnilseptium (Uns). Although the discoverers and the American Chemical Society proposed the name Nielsbohrium (Ns), the nomenclature commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chose for Bohrium (Bh), which was more conform the names of the other elements named after individuals." (cf. Dubnium). Did they not realize that Bohrium is almost identical with the Latin name of Boron, Borium? This name was ratified by the IUPAC Council meeting in Geneva during August 1997 (see "Naming the transfermium elements" on the systematic IUPAC names page). Elements discovered at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, heavy ion research center funded by the Federal Government of Germany and the state of Hesse. They were called the "correct" eka-metals, in contradiction to the false transuranic elements (#93-97), described by Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassmann in 1934-38.
Niels Bohr
Niels Henrik David Bohr (Copenhagen 7 October 1885 – Copenhagen 18 November 1962), Danish physicist who made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them". He founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, of which he became director in 1920. Bohr mentored and collaborated with many of the top physicists of the century at his institute in Copenhagen. He was part of a team of physicists working on the Manhattan Project. He fled from the Nazis in World War II and took part in work on the atomic bomb in the USA. In 1952 he helped to set up CERN, the European nuclear research organisation, in Geneva. Bohr has been described as one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century
