43.  Element Register
   
   Finally, some elements were named to immortalize the names of great scientists: curium, fermium, einsteinium, mendelevium, and lawrencium.

   The name of only a single artificially produced element, the hundred and second, has not yet been entered in its birth certificate.
There is still some controversy among scientists as to the origin of the names of the elements of antiquity, and nobody knows so far just why, say, sulphur is called sulphur, iron - iron, or tin -  tin.

   See how many curious things we find in the register of the chemical elements!
