hell....oo.. //

Uranus (1781) = Uranium (1789)
Ceres (1801) = Cerium (1803)
Neptune (1846) = Neptunium (1940)
Pluto (1930) = Plutonium (1940)

These all elements named after planets coz they had been discovered in same year when these planets were discovered.So, these elements were named after planets...

hope this helps you...!!
