[Darkdragon]

Astatine is the rarest naturally-occurring element on Earth.

[Aisha deCabre]

86 is Radon.  Almost there, but kudos to the people who decided they didn't want to follow the pattern. 

[Angel]

87. Francium. I think it's illegal to bring that stuff anywhere near water...

[Mao]

88 Radium.

[Jer-oh-me]

89 Actinium, back into the elements not typically on the major part of the table again.

[Angel]

90. Thorium. The highest melting point of all the oxides.

[Jer-oh-me]

91 Protactinium, not useful for anything but research due to scarcity.

[Angel]

92. Uranium. An element that is so famous, it needs no little mini-fact. But it does make glass pretty colors.

[Jer-oh-me]

93, Neptunium, has an atomic radius of 175 pm

[Aisha deCabre]

94 is Plutonium...another rather famous element for being in the bottom rows.   

[Jer-oh-me]

95 Americium, named for who else but, America, "F*ck Yeah!"

98 Californium, named for my home state.

[Darkdragon]

Einsteinium. Named after the guy who discovered special relativity and hypothesized E=MC^2

[Jer-oh-me]

101 Mendelevium, Named for Dmitri Mendeleev.

[Darkdragon]

Nobelium. This is the highest numbered atom included in Tom Lehrer's The Elements Song in 1959.

[Jairus]

103, Lawrencium. Named for Ernest O. Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron. It's amazing what you can find on Wikipedia.

[Jer-oh-me]

104 Rutherfordium, whose name was subject of controversy during the cold war, apparently even scientists didn't like the communists.

[Jairus]

105, Dubnium. There's a lot of controversy over what it's really called.

[Darkdragon]

Seaborgium.

[Jairus]

Bohrium

[Jer-oh-me]

108 is Hassium.

[Jairus]

[Darkdragon]

Darmstadtium.

Let's see if we can finish the table.

[Jairus]

Roentgenium

[Jer-oh-me]

112 Ununbium, any thoughts on what to do next? Perhaps days of the leap year?

[Jairus]
