The word Plutonium comes from the late 18th century word Ploutōn (pluto) being the planet beyond Neptune. Plutonium's symbol is Pu instead of Pl, because Pu would be easier to remember.

PLUTONIUM IS CONSIDERED THE MOST DANGEROUS ELEMENT ON THE PERIODIC TABLE!!!
Do to it's high toxicity and radioactivity and that it comes from uranium, if you are exposed to this element it is almost a certain fatality.
