In 1982, the element, Meitnerium (Mt), was named in her honor. The Posthumous Prize Winner Nobel Prize rules stipulate that the award cannot be given posthumously. The only exception was made in 2011 when Canadian immunologist Ralph Steinman received the Nobel for Physiology or Medicine.

There can be no doubt that any science student who is interested in chemistry must learn the periodic table. But just learning the periodic table is not really enough.

Any proposed name will be checked out for consistency, prior use for other cases, and translatability into other languages. Of the current elements, only two were named after women: Meitnerium and Curium, named after Lise Meitner and Marie Curie, respectively. Curie shared her honor with her husband.

Meitnerium is a radioactive, synthetic element about which little is known. It is classified as a metal and is a solid at room temperature. Meitnerium has seven isotopes with known half-lives. The most stable is meitnerium-278 (278Mt), with a half-life of about eight seconds. It decays into bohrium-274 (Bh)ÃÂ ...
