nuclides edit
- I believe that there are a couple of nuclides in addition to the nuclides of hydrogen and helium that have nonsystematic names suffixed by "-on." If you know the names of these special nuclides, please add them, thanks. Nicole Sharp (talk) 13:26, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Found 'em: actinon and thoron. "wikipedia:Symbol (chemistry)#Symbols for named isotopes." Nicole Sharp (talk) 18:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
etymologies edit
- I would not want to make a simple wordlist too complicated, but it might be interesting to add a note indicating the origin of each word: e.g. "rishon (from ראשון)" or "higgson (from Higgs)." "Iron" I think is the only entry included that is not etymologically related to "-on" (from Classical Greek). Nicole Sharp (talk) 16:07, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Another interesting tidbit that could be added is the year of coinage, since pretty much every term in the list (other than iron) is a neologism coined by scientists: e.g. "neutrino (from neutron, 1932)" Nicole Sharp (talk) 16:14, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
These are not all particles edit
Some of these terms do not refer to particles, e.g. "antiargon", "antineon", "ekaradon" and more: they are chemical elements with prefixes. Equinox ◑ 15:31, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
