How did Glenn T Seaborg make californium?
Glenn T. Seaborg did not make californium himself; it was discovered by a research team at the University of California in 1950. The element was first synthesized by bombarding curium-242 with alpha particles to produce californium-245. Seaborg played a key role in the discovery and identification of californium, as well as in its naming after the state of California.
Can californium pass through solids?
Not californium, but neutrons emitted by californium.
What parts make up californium?
Protons, neutrons and electrons
How many stable isotopes are in the element californium?
All the isotopes of californium are radioactive, artificial and unstable.
