In Gaul the Saxon element on its Saxon Shore was plainly visible because there the Saxons were an intrusive element in the population.

Another problem was that the gradual identification of more and more chemically similar and indistinguishable lanthanides, which were of an uncertain number, led to inconsistency and uncertainty in the numbering of all elements at least from lutetium ( element 71 ) onwards ( hafnium was not known at this time ).

Each observed new lines in the color spectrum of air but were unable to identify the element responsible for the lines.

Similar to the nearly simultaneous discovery of americium ( element 95 ) and curium ( element 96 ) in 1944, the new elements berkelium and californium ( element 98 ) were both produced in 1949 – 1950.

Thus the discovery report by the Berkeley group reads: " It is suggested that element 97 be given the name berkelium ( symbol Bk ) after the city of Berkeley in a manner similar to that used in naming its chemical homologue terbium ( atomic number 65 ) whose name was derived from the town of Ytterby, Sweden, where the rare earth minerals were first found.

There was an element naming controversy as to what the elements from 104 to 106 were to be called ; the IUPAC adopted unnilseptium ( symbol Uns ) as a temporary, systematic element name for this element.

This was opposed by the discoverers who were adamant that they had the right to name the element.

The team were able to detect the alpha decay from a descendant of the 1n evaporation channel, providing some evidence for the formation of element 107 nuclei.

) Where the irony with which Reefer Madness was adopted as a midnight favorite had its roots in a countercultural sensibility, in the latter's place there is now the paradoxical element of nostalgia: the leading revivals currently on the circuit ironically include clearly non-cult films like John Hughes oeuvre — The Breakfast Club ( 1985 ), Pretty in Pink ( 1986 ), and Ferris Bueller's Day Off ( 1986 ), which were major studio productions and popular and financially successful during their original releases, and the teen adventure film The Goonies ( 1985 ).

Because acids were thought at the time to necessarily contain oxygen, a number of chemists, including Claude Berthollet, suggested that Scheele's dephlogisticated muriatic acid air must be a combination of oxygen and the yet undiscovered element, and Scheele named the supposed new element within this oxide as muriaticum.

Part of this rejection was due to the belief that atoms of one element would have no chemical affinity towards atoms of the same element, and part was due to apparent exceptions to Avogadro's law that were not explained until later in terms of dissociating molecules.
