Best Answer

The discovery of element 102 was first announced by physicists at the Nobel Institute in Sweden in 1957. The team reported that they created an isotope with a half-life of 10 minutes, decaying by emission of an 8.5 MeV alpha particle, after bombarding 244Cm with 13C nuclei. The activity was assigned to 251102 or 253102. The scientists proposed the name nobelium (No) for the new element. Later they retracted their claim and associated the activity to background effects.

When was nobelium discovered?

Nobelium is an artificial chemical element, radioactive and unstable. Nobelium was first and surely prepared in 1966 by Russian physicists from Dubna; another claim from American physicists (1958) was not accepted by IUPAC. Nobelium was obtained using this nuclear reaction: 238 92U + 2210Ne → 260102No* → 254102No + 6 10n

What is the element No?

I am sure No has got to be Nobelium, named after Alfred Nobel, who discovered dynamite. Nobelium is radioactive, but it exists for only... Ithink 10 mintues? Yeah, 10 mintues. The atomic number of nobelium is 102. If you want a song that goes to element 102, nobelium, go to YouTube, type in: Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" Animated. Then you will have a great song to listen to. Feel free to sing along. Enjoy!
