**//Mendelevium//** 

.
 * 1) Mendelevium is a **//__solid metal__//**
 * 2) the **//__Atomic number: 101__//**
 * 3) the **//__Atomis mass; 258.__//**
 * 4) **//__Uses:__//** Md has been used to determine some of the chemical properties of Mendelevium in aqueous solution.
 * 5) Mendelevium (Md) was discovered in 1955 by a University of California-Berkeley team of **//Ghiorso, Harvey, Choppin, Thompson, and [|Seaborg]//** by bombarding Einsteinium with helium ions.Because its half life is about 1.5 hour, it is unlikely to be produced in weighable amounts. It decays by electron capture to Fermium which in turn decays by prominent fission in a half life of about 3 hours.
 * 6) Named in honour of **//__Dmitri Mendeleev__//**
 * 7) //**__menedelevium__**// is **//__Man Made__//**
