Values from open reference data; see sources. "Terrain" opens that property as a 3D landscape across the whole spiral.

Two things you might not know

  1. Discoverers proposed the namesake's full first and last name; IUPAC trimmed it, as no element used a scientist's complete name.
  2. Honors a Danish physicist. First made in 1981 at GSI in Germany by a team led by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Münzenberg.
