History
| Parameter | Nihonium | Plutonium |
|---|---|---|
| History | The element Nihonium was discovered by K. Morita et al.(RIKENin Wako, Japan) in year 2004 in Russia and United States. Nihonium derived its name from the Japanese name for Japan, Nihon, where the element was first synthesized. | The element Plutonium was discovered by Glenn T. Seaborg,Arthur C. Wahl,W. Kennedy and E.M. McMillan in year 1940 in United States. Plutonium derived its name from Pluto, a dwarf planet in the Solar System (then considered the ninth planet). |
