Where was hassium discovered?

Answer 1

Hassium (atom number 108Hs) was first synthesized in 1984 by a German research team led by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Münzenberg at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research (Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung) in Darmstadt(GER).

The team bombarded a lead target with 58Fe nuclei to produce 3 atoms of 265Hs in the reaction, emitting equivalent number of neutrons:

20882Pb + 5826Fe → 265108Hs + 10n

(Isotope mass numbers are superscripted, atom numbers subscripted)

Answer 2

Hassium was for the first time obtained by Gottfried Münzenberg, Peter Armbruster, H. Folger, Fritz Peter Heßberger, Sigurd Hofmann, J. Keller, Klaus Poppensieker, Willibrord Reisdorf, Karl-Heinz Schmidt, H.-J. Schött, Matti Leino, and R. Hingmann from Gesselschaft für Schwerionenforschung (Darmstadt, Germany) in 1984.

The nuclear reaction used was:

20882Pb + 5826Fe---------265108Hs = n

Answer 3

Only in some rare nuclear physics laboratories; hassium is an artificial element, not found in the nature.

Answer 4

Hassium was for the first time obtained by Gottfried M

Answer 5

Hassium is an artificial element resulting only from nuclear reactions.

Answer 6

Hassium was discovered by a team of German researchers at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany in 1984.
