poem “Mendelevium, one atom at a time”, a Periodic Table Twitter Verse poem for learning about the element #101, Mendelevium (Md), which is a poem all about the discovery of the element, that scientists bombarded element #99 (Einsteinium) on gold foil to get element #101 (Mendelevium), but the UC Berkeley cyclotron & chemical separators were separated by a cliff - so they booked up it in a supercharged VW Beetle to make it there before the particles decay, because this way the got alpha particles for the element. Mendelevium, with a half-life @ ~5 minutes, was found this way - making it the 1st element found at only 1 atom at a time , By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

at a time

on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr
Scientists bombarded element #99 on gold foil
to get #101, but the UC Berkeley cyclotron
& chemical separators were separated by a cliff.
So they booked up it in a supercharged VW Beetle,
for Mendelevium, w/ a half-life @ ~5 minutes,
was the 1st element found — 1 atom at a time.
