What is the formula for berkelium (VI) carbonate?

The formula for berkelium (VI) carbonate is Bk(CO₃)₃. In this compound, berkelium has a +6 oxidation state, and there are three carbonate (CO₃) ions associated with each berkelium ion to balance the charge.


What happens to Berkelium when superheated?

When superheated, Berkelium would likely decompose and release radioactive particles and energy. This could lead to the formation of smaller elements through nuclear reactions, along with the release of heat and radiation. Overall, superheating Berkelium would result in breaking down its atomic structure and transforming it into different elements.


Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?

A metal typically has only positive oxidation numbers, while a nonmetal can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers. Metals tend to lose electrons (positive oxidation numbers) to form cations, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to form a variety of oxidation states.
