Nobelium

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Nobelium is recognized for the scientist it is named for rather than for the element itself. Chemists share their knowledge of the element, Alfred Nobel's research, and the Nobel Prize in a video that's part of a series on each of the chemical elements.
