Scientific definitions for binomial nomenclature The scientific system of naming an organism using two terms, the first being the genus and the second the species. The terms are usually Greek or Latin.

A genus is a taxonomic category ranking used in biological classification that is below family and above species. In binomial nomenclature, the genus is used as the first word of a scientific name in which the first letter is capitalized.

The binomial naming system is the system used to name species. Each species is given a name that consists of two parts. The first part is the Genus to which the species belongs and the second part is the species name. For example, Apis mellifera (the honey bee).

Quick tips for picking a name that sticks

1. Be creative. Names that are catchy and fun are easier to remember.
2. Be realistic. Names that fit the purpose of the system set clear expectations.
3. Be memorable. Names that are easy to remember encourage frequency of use.
4. Be simple. Names that are confusing will turn users away.

A naming system is a connected set of contexts of the same type (they have the same naming convention) and provides a common set of operations. For example, a system that implements the DNS is a naming system. A system that communicates using the LDAP is a naming system.

Polonium is a highly radioactive heavy metal. It is arguably the most lethal known material. Although it has some minor industrial uses it is best known for links with possible assassinations. It is also used to produce neutrons in the core of nuclear weapons.

The plutonium at Fukushima isn’t in the air, but inhaling about 20 milligrams of plutonium would probably kill you within a few months. External exposure carries almost no risk.

As of 2020, the most expensive non-synthetic element by both mass and volume is rhodium. It is followed by caesium, iridium and palladium by mass and iridium, gold and platinum by volume.

Ununennium, also known as eka-francium or element 119, is the hypothetical chemical element with symbol Uue and atomic number 119. It is the lightest element that has not yet been synthesized.

palladium

Platinum. There are four precious metals used in jewelry: platinum, gold, silver, and palladium. Of the four, platinum is often the most expensive and definitely the most exclusive. It’s 30 times rarer than gold and used in a purer form.
