Which element do you think would have been named by

(i) Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory


(ii) Seaborg’s group?

Lawrencium [Lr] with atomic number = 103 is a member of actinide family and hence involves the filling of 5f orbital and Berkelium [Bk] with atomic number = 97 is also a member of actinide family and hence involves the filling of 5f orbital [both of them are f block elements].

Seaborgium [Sg] with atomic number = 106 is a d block element present in 7th period and 6th column of periodic table.
