Extractions: In addition to the discovery of transuranium elements, Dr. Seaborg and his colleagues are responsible for the identification of more than 100 isotopes of elements throughout the Periodic Table. He is also author of the actinide concept of heavy element electronic structure. In this connection, Dr. Seaborg demonstrated that the heavy elements form a "transition" series of actinide elements in a manner analogous to the rare-earth series of lanthanide elements. The concept demonstrated how the heavy elements fit into the Periodic Table and thus demonstrated their relationships to the other elements. The body of information assembled in Dr. Seaborg's laboratory has made it possible to predict the radioactive characteristics of many isotopes of elements still to be found. Under Dr. Seaborg's leadership, also, whole new bodies of methodology and instrumentation have been developed and have become a cornerstone of modern nuclear chemistry. Dr. Seaborg is the author of approximately 200 scientific papers, including a number of comprehensive reviews and compilations in scientific publications. He is also author and co-author of several books on chemistry and the elements. Honours include: in 1947 named as one of America's 10 outstanding young men by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce; 1947 recipient of the American Chemical Society's Award in Pure Chemistry; 1948 John Ericsson Gold Medal by the American Society of Swedish Engineers; 1948 Nichols Medal of the New York Section of the American Chemical Society; 1953 John Scott Award and Medal of the City of Philadelphia; 1957 Perkin Medal of the American Section of the Society of Chemical Industry; 1959 Atomic Energy Commission's Enrico Fermi Award for his outstanding work in the field of nuclear chemistry and for his leadership in scientific and educational affairs; in 1962, named Swedish American of the Year by Vasa Order of America, Stockholm; 1963 Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia.

Extractions: GLENN THEODORE SEABORG April 19, 1912, Ishpeming, MI - February 25, 1999, Lafayette, CA The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA mourns the loss of Glenn Seaborg, an illustrious graduate, a dear friend, and an ardent supporter. He passed away at the age of 86 in his home in Lafayette, California. Glenn moved with his family from Ishpeming, Michigan, at the age of 12 to what was to become South Gate, California. At the age of 14, he began the practice of keeping a daily journal, which he continued for the rest of his life. It was not until he reached Jordan High School that his interest in chemistry was stimulated by the enthusiasm of a teacher, and, in September of 1929, he entered UCLA, majoring in chemistry. In 1934 he graduated from UCLA with highest honors, and later the same year he began graduate school in chemistry at UC Berkeley. After receiving his Ph.D. degree from UC Berkeley, he worked for two years as the personal research assistant to Prof. G. N. Lewis at the Berkeley campus. In 1939, he became an Instructor in the College of Chemistry at UC Berkeley. After the war effort, Helen and Glenn returned to Berkeley where he was Professor of Chemistry and where their children were born: Peter in 1946, Lynne in 1947, David in 1949, Stephen in 1951, Eric in 1954, and Dianne in 1959. In 1951, Glenn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with E. M. McMillan for his work on the chemistry of the transuranium elements. From 1958 to 1961, Glenn was Chancellor at UC Berkeley.

Extractions: Glenn Theodore Seaborg (19121999) was involved in identifying nine transuranium elements (94 through 102), and he served as chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) from 1961 to 1971. In 1951 he shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with the physicist Edwin M. McMillan. Born in Michigan, Seaborg earned his bachelor's degree at the University of California at Los Angeles and his doctorate in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley. He then served as research assistant to G. N. Lewis and eventually became chancellor of the university. He worked away from Berkeley during two significant periods: once to participate in the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago from 1942 to 1946 and then again to chair the AECfrom which he returned to Berkeley. In 1940 Edwin McMillan, assisted by Philip Abelson (later editor of Science magazine), confirmed and elucidated the phenomenon of nuclear fission announced by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1939. Specifically, he identified element 93, neptunium, among the fission products of uranium that was bombarded with neutrons produced from deuterons using the small (27-inch) cyclotron at Berkeley. McMillan also predicted the existence of element 94, plutonium, which he expected to find among the products of uranium under direct deuteron bombardment. McMillan, however, was suddenly called away to do war work and eventually joined the program at Los Alamos to build nuclear bombs. After World War II, his scientific reputation was enhanced by his critical contributions to the theory of particle accelerators.

Extractions: Since the beginning of human thought, people have sought to understand the Universe. One road to making order out of apparent chaos is through the idea that the fantastically varied phenomena and materials that make up the Universe are combinations of a much smaller number of much simpler components. The appeal of this idea was such that the ancient Greeks hypothesised that all matter was made up of only four "elements" - earth, air, fire and water - two thousand years before the first experimental evidence for the idea was obtained. By the beginning of this century, the number of naturally-occurring elements was "known" to be 92. Why 92? Could one find, or make, further elements, and if so, is there a limit? Where is the limit, and why? And if one could make further elements, why did they not exist in nature? By the 1930s the various threads of scientific discovery had come together to give clear answers to at least some of these questions. It was understood that the chemical properties of an element were determined by the number of positive charges on the nuclei of its atoms. This is because the number of electrons circling the nucleus in an electrically neutral atom is the same as the number of positive charges on the nucleus. These electrons arrange themselves in orbits according to the laws of quantum mechanics, and this arrangement in turn determines the atom's chemical properties.

Extractions: Glenn Seaborg, Leader of Team That Found Plutonium, Dies at 86 By Malcolm W. Browne, , February 27, 1999 Mr. Glenn T. Seaborg, leader of the scientific team that created plutonium the fuel used in the atomic bomb that destroyed Nagasaki in 1945 died on Thursday night at his home in Lafayette, California. Dr. Seaborg, who was 86, died of complications of a stroke he suffered last August while exercising on a flight of stairs at a scientific meeting in Boston. His longtime collaborator and friend at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, Albert Ghiorso, said that after Dr. Seaborg collapsed, he fell down the stairs and was seriously injured and lying helpless for several hours until he was discovered. He was mostly paralyzed thereafter. Although he was a chemist by training and occupation, Dr. Seaborg became one of the world's best-known nuclear physicists. He led the research that created nine artificial elements, all heavier than uranium. They were plutonium, americium (used today in smoke detectors), curium (used in medicine), berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium and nobelium. Besides these new elements, Dr. Seaborg and his team, which included Mr. Ghiorso as chief builder of the required apparatus, created many isotopes, or forms of elements, with differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.
