2006, Geoffrey C. Bond, Catherine Louis, David T. Thompson, “Chapter 2. The Physical and Chemical Properties of Gold”, in Graham J. Hutchings, editor, Catalysis by Gold (Catalytic Science Series — Vol. 6), Imperial College Press, →ISBN, “5. Physical Properties of Gold and Adjacent Elements 1. Bulk properties”, page 30:Gold crystallises in the face-centred cubic (fcc) habit, its lattice constant being fractionally smaller than that of silver (Tables 2.1 and 2.2.); in compounds and complexes, AuI is smaller than AgI. This is in consequence of the relativistic contraction of the 6s level, and it is expected that it will be even greater with the 7s level; indeed the size of the next element of Group 11 (röntgenium) has been calculated to be no larger than that of copper.

2010, V. Pershina, “Relativistic electronic structure studies on the heaviest elements”, in Radiochimica Acta, Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag, “5.2. Röntgenium”, page 465:Possibility of Rg to form simple monovalent compounds and predominance of relativistic effects on its electron shells made this element an attractive object of theoretical investigations.

The reader who has encountered any of the entries for: curium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, rutherfordium, seaborgium, bohrium, meitnerium and röntgenium, will have realised that it is a mark of the highest distinction in science to have a chemical element named after one.]

He discovered X-rays in 1895 and first tested them on his wife’s hand. She exclaimed, “I can see my death.” He received a Nobel Prize in Physics and Röntgenium was named in his honor.
