How much does cerium cost per gram?
Hello, I work at The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and work on actinide materials, such as curium. While there are some web pages that quote it as $160/milligram, I have a hard time believing this, at least for the metal. Given the amount of time it takes to create the element, handling costs as a radioactive material, and storage issues, I would put it much higher. In short, it makes diamond, platinum, and gold equivalent to dirt!
What is the nuclear equation of berkelium?
The first nuclear reactions used to obtain berkelium-249 were:Pu-239(4n, gamma)Pu-243--------beta-------Am-243(n, gamma)Am-244-----beta-----Cm-244(5n, gamma)Cm-249--------beta----------Bk-249
Which equation represents the alpha decay of plutonium 244?
The equation for the alpha decay of plutonium-244 is: [ ^{244}{94}Pu \rightarrow ^{240}{92}U + ^4_2He ]
What is the nuclear composition of Plutonium 244?
Plutonium-244 has 94 protons (atomic number) and 150 neutrons. It is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 80 million years.
An Element named after an American state?
it is the element Californium. it is a synthetic element produced in trace quantities by helium isotope bombardment of curium. All isotopes are radioactive, chiefly by emission of alpha particles. Atomic number 98; mass numbers 244 to 254; half-lives varying from 25 minutes to 800 years.
What can curium be used for or in?
Possible uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages.
What is needed to produce curium-244 and a beta particle?
The isotope curium 244 is obtained by nuclear reactions between plutonium and neutrons. The decay of Cm 244 is by alpha disintegration, not beta.
What is curium importance to humans?
Possible uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages.Also, the scientific importance for humans knowledge.
What are the activities or inactivates for the element curium as a gas or a solid?
The specific activities for some curium isotopes are:- Cm-242: 3,3.10+3 Ci/g- Cm-243: 4,2 Ci/g- Cm-244: 82 Ci/g- Cm-245: 0,1 Ci/g- Cm-246: 0,36 Ci/g
What is all of the numbers that round to 240?
Anything from 235 to 244

What equations give you the number 242?
The following equations will give you the number 242: 121 x 2 484/2 240 + 2 244 - 2
What are nine numbers that round to 240?
235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 241, 242, 243, 244
What happens to curium-242 when it's bombarded with an alpha particle?
Depending on the energy of the alpha, fusion into Californium-246 could happen, or elastic Rutherford scattering could happen. If the alpha was energized enough to compensate for the reactions net mass increase (mCf - mCm - mα = 6.86MeV) and the Coulomb barrier (about 26MeV), so about 33MeV total, it could fuse into Cf246. Otherwise it'll bounce off the Cm242 via elastic scattering.
How do you change 24.4 into a fraction or mixed number?
24.4 = 244/10 = 122/5 (fraction) = 242/5 (mixed number).
