It's used for things. Just kidding. It is used in a neutronic gauge, and to find things out about gold and silver. Have a nice life.

∙ 13y agoCalifornium is primarily used in neutron radiography, nuclear reactors, and oil exploration. It is also used in neutron moisture gauges for soil analysis and in portable neutron sources for security and detection purposes.
Californium oxychloride is primarily used in scientific research for studying the behavior of californium and its properties. It may also have potential applications in nuclear reactor control rods and neutron detectors due to californium's ability to emit neutrons.
Californium is a radioactive element and has no discernible smell.
Californium is a soft radioactive metal.
Californium is not flammable, as it is a radioactive metal that does not support combustion.
Californium typically forms compounds with ligands to stabilize its high radioactivity. Some common molecules containing californium are californium chloride (CfCl3), californium nitrate (Cf(NO3)3), and californium dioxide (CfO2).
Up today californium sulfide was not prepared.
No data known today.
Yes, californium is a heavy radioactive metal that can conduct electricity, like most other metals. However, its practical use in conducting electricity is limited due to its high cost, rarity, and radioactive nature.
Californium has not uses in everyday life.
Not determined up today.
Californium oxychloride is primarily used in scientific research for studying the behavior of californium and its properties. It may also have potential applications in nuclear reactor control rods and neutron detectors due to californium's ability to emit neutrons.
Detectors for water using californium-252 are now used in many countries around the world.
Not californium, but neutrons emitted by californium.
There are two stable isotopes of californium: californium-249 and californium-251.
Californium is radioactive and a strong neutrons emitter; californium can be lethal.
Californium has 98 protons.
Californium is not flammable.
