Actinium can react with halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), oxygen, sulphur, etc
Actinium can react with halogens, oxygen, hydrogen.
any nickname (and generally for the chemical elements) for actinium
Actinium may be used in actinium-beryllium neutron sources or in radiotherapy.
Actinium may be used in actinium-beryllium neutron sources or in radiotherapy.
Actinium is very rare and expensive; it has not common uses.
A nuclear reaction for the preparation of 227Ac is:
Actinium does not form a common molecule like many nonmetals do; instead, it typically exists in metallic form or as part of compounds. As a member of the actinide series, actinium primarily occurs in the form of actinium(III) compounds, such as actinium oxide (Ac2O3). These compounds can form when actinium reacts with oxygen or other elements, but it does not have a stable, common molecular structure like diatomic or triatomic molecules found in other elements.
The most common isotope of actinium, Ac-227, has 89 protons and 138 neutrons.
Not soluble in water (probably only a slow reaction), soluble in acids.
The most common isotope of actinium, Ac-227, has 89 protons and electrons and 138 neutrons.
Actinium has 89 protons and electrons; the natural isotope 227Ac has 138 neutrons.
There is no Latin word or common name for actinium. That element was not discovered until 1899 so the ancient Romans could not have given it a name in their language; the word actinium is a fantasy word based on classical Greek aktis, a beam of light.
