Shiny new Rutherfordium! Newtherfordium! Twotherfordium! Truetherfordium? I can't ruth-AFFORD to keep making puns on this element's name, I have run out of brainpower

Rutherfordium, Hassium & Mendelevium

Rutherfordium (based on designs by @shardthefuckingwhajje and @vitasnova) is largely based on their namesake; they love golf and their collar tag & radiation scars are based on the Order of Merit. Discovered at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna in 1966-1969.

Hassium (@lotus-and-pkmn and @cosmosnaught) was reportedly created around the same time (1984) by the JINR and GSI institutes and eventually named after the German state of Hesse, where the GSI is located in Darmstadt.

Mendelevium was mostly designed by 03113 in our server. Discovered in Berkeley in 1955 and named, of course, after the Russian chemist known for developing the periodic law.

the grind is over... finally... (please ignore the misspelling of Darmstadtium's name ;-;)

This Ray Toro is rutherfordium!

He was the first superheavy element ever discovered!

IIIIIIITTTT CRIIIIIIIITTTTMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Merry christmas from Darmstadtium!

[ketrinadrawsalot]

Rutherfordium is named after Ernest Rutherford, discoverer of the half-life in radioactive elements. It's synthesized by bombarding plutonium with neon ions or californium with carbon ions.

Round 2 - Matchup 23

Rutherfordium 104 (Rf) - Doesn't last long enought to get many measurements or have any real use, but it is named after Rutherford, who is known as the father of nuclear physics

vs

Holmium 67 (Ho) - Holmium has the highest magnetic strength of any element, so if you need a really strong magnet then holmium is the way to go.

Which element is better

Rutherfordium 104 (Rf)

Holmium 67 (Ho)

Round 1.2: Oganesson (118) vs. Rutherfordium (104)

Oganesson (118)

Oganesson is an extremely radioactive, short-lived, superheavy element named for the still living nuclear physicist, Yuri Oganessian. A synthetic element, it has the highest atomic number of any discovered element and is technically a noble gas. With no research done on actual samples due to difficulty of production (only 6 or 7 atoms total ever), researchers still dispute whether it would be a solid or a gas in standard conditions, although solid appears to be the current consensus.

Rutherfordium (104)

Rutherfordium is a radioactive, short-lived, superheavy element named for the so-called father of nuclear physics, Ernest Rutherford. Most likely acting as a heavier homolog to Hafnium, Rutherfordium has had little research done on it.

Which Element is More Fuckable?

Oganesson (118)

Rutherfordium (104)
