…neutron bombardment of lighter elements. It is the thirteenth actinide, the ninth transuranic element, and the first transfermium; it is named after Dmitri Mendeleev, the father of the periodic table. Like all the transfermiums, it can only be produced in particle accelerators by bombarding lighter elements with…
