Curium-242 has 146 neutrons and curium-244 has 148 neutrons. Also the half lives are different.
Well Curium costs $160 per milligram and 1 milligram is 0.001 of a gram so that makes 1g, 1000mg. 100g turn into 1000000000mg and so you multiply $160 by 1000000000 which is $16,000,000,000USD or 16 trillion US dollars. Now if you're from New Zealand like me, that would be at the current exchange rate, $23,040,000000NZD or 23.04 trillion NZ dollars.
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
The equation for the alpha decay of plutonium-244 is: [ ^{244}{94}Pu \rightarrow ^{240}{92}U + ^4_2He ]
Plutonium-244 has 94 protons (atomic number) and 150 neutrons. It is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 80 million years.
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.
Possible uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages.
The isotope curium 244 is obtained by nuclear reactions between plutonium and neutrons. The decay of Cm 244 is by alpha disintegration, not beta.
Possible uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages.Also, the scientific importance for humans knowledge.
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
Anything from 235 to 244

The following equations will give you the number 242: 121 x 2 484/2 240 + 2 244 - 2

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.
24.4 = 244/10 = 122/5 (fraction) = 242/5 (mixed number).
