Definition of the Lawrencium Element
A radioactive transuranic element synthesized from californium

Origin / Meaning of the name Lawrencium
Named in honour of Ernest O. Lawrence the inventor of the cyclotron.

Classification of the Lawrencium Element
Lawrencium classified as an element in the Actinide series as one of the "Rare Earth Elements" which can located in Group 3 elements of the Periodic Table and in the 6th and 7th periods. The Rare Earth Elements are of the Lanthanide and Actinide series. Most of the elements in the Actinide series are synthetic or man-made.

Facts about the Discovery and History of the Lawrencium Element
Lawrencium was discovered by Albert Ghiorso, Torbjorn Sikkeland, Almon Larsh and Robert M. Latimer in 1961 at the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory (now called Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) in the University of California.

Lawrencium - IUPAC and the Modern Standardised Periodic Table
The Standardised Periodic Table in use today was agreed by the International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry, IUPAC, in 1985 and now recognises more periods and elements than Dimitri  Mendeleev knew in his day but still all fitting into his concept of  the "Periodic Table" in which Lawrencium is just one element that can be found.
