md
synthetic chemical element of the actinoid series of the periodic table, atomic number 101. It was the first element to be synthesized and discovered one atom at a time. Not occurring in nature, mendelevium (as the isotope mendelevium-256) was discovered (1955) by Albert Ghiorso, Bernard G. Harvey, Gregory R. Choppin, Stanley G. Thompson, and Glenn T. Seaborg at the University of California, Berkeley, as a product resulting from the helium-ion bombardment of a minute quantity (1,000,000,000 atoms) of einsteinium-253 (atomic number 99).
