1. Some elements that are named after places include Berkelium and Americium, Californium, and Yttrium. Elements named after people include Seaborgium, Lawrencium, Rutherfordium, Einsteinium, Mendelevium, and Nobelium.
2. Elements are made in labs. They can be made by smashing elements together in a lab. These unstable elements have a very short lifespan and can change from an element to the next. Elements beyond Californium are known as synthesized elements.
3. Stalin thwarted scientific progress because he held his beliefs on the entire Soviet Union making it impossible to study science or anything that contradicted with Joseph Stalin.
4. The cold war of the elements was basically a controversial conflict that was due to Russians "believing" they had discovered new elements when in reality they hadn't. The cold war was basically due to countries wanting to claim new elements.
