 | Actinoid was originally brought to life as a mix of a cover band and a parody band (much along the lines of Wierd Al). |
 | Actinoid decided on their name and their lineup in late '04 early '05 and have been jamming ever since. |
 | Actinoid also recorded 4 "demo CDs," which were sold to unsuspecting fans, some of which have been reimbursed for their...investment. |
| Chemistry International -- Newsmagazine for IUPAC (1092 words) |
 | The elements from actinium through uranium (along with neptunium through curium when they were first synthesized) were originally placed with the main table elements, in spite of problems with their chemical properties. |
 | Lawrencium completed the actinoid series and element 104 was placed in the seventh row of the main table. |
 | The ending “-ide” normally indicates a negatives ion, and therefore “lanthanoid” and “actinoid” are preferred to “lanthanide” and “actinide.” However, owing to wide current use, “lanthanide” and “actinide” are still allowed. |
