The actinides are a series of 15 radioactive elements, the group gets its name from the element Actinium. The elements are Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium and Lawrencium. Six of the elements of this group got their names from renowned scientists, Curium was named after Marie and Pierre Curie; the Einsteinium was named after Albert Einstein; Fermium was named after Enrico Fermi; the Mendelevium was named after Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev; the Nobelium after Alfred Nobel and Lawrencium is named after Ernest Lawrence.

Why aren't Lanthanum and Actinium classified as lanthanides or actinides?
Ok since I took chemistry back in middle school, I'll tell you #1: Lanthanum and Actinium are the beginning elements of the Actinide and Lanthanide series, that's why the series is named after them #2: They are chemically arranged differently (Ex:The # of protons and neutrons and electrons) #3 If they were in the series, why would the series be named after them? Hope this helped!
Are the elements in the periodic table of elements named after scientists?
Some of them and some of someone else like the teddy bear named after Theodore Roosevelt.Some are even named after countries, like Francium.
What elements on the periodic table are named after discoverer?
Offhand I can't think of any that are directly named after their discoverer personally. There are several named after scientists (curium, einsteinium, seaborgium, mendelevium, etc.), but those scientists did not discover these particular elements (Seaborg discovered, or at least participated in the discovery of, several elements, but seaborgium was not one of them; likewise for Curie and curium; Einstein didn't discover any elements). There are some named after countries: francium and polonium were named after France and Poland... the countries where their discoverer, Marie Curie, was living and was born respectively. Finally, there are at least two named after an employer: californium and berkelium were named by a team working at the University of California - Berkeley. ("At least" because while lawrencium is supposedly named after Ernest O. Lawrence, it was discovered at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, which was ALSO named after Ernest O. Lawrence, making it a bit ambiguous.)
What Elements are named for famous scientists and the scientist named?
there are many for example: Bohrium : after Niels Bohr Copernicum : After Copernicus Rutherfordium : After Rutherford Many Einsteinium is named after Einstein. Curium after the Curies, Ruthefordium after Rutherford and of course Seaborgium whcih was named after a LIVING famous scientist Glen Seaborg
