Definitions
from The Century Dictionary.
- noun The name given by Sir W. Crookes to a supposed new chemical element the presence of which in salts of so-called ‘yttrium’ seemed to be indicated by a peculiar phosphorescent spectrum exhibiting a group of lines almost alone near the extreme ultraviolet (whence the name): it was later proposed to change the name to victorium, in honor of Queen Victoria. Monium must be looked upon as one of the large number of inferred but unestablished elements.
