What does berkelium do?
Berkelium is a radioactive element with the atomic number 96. No practical uses for berkelium have been found and the small amounts that have been created have been used exclusively for scientific research.
Is berkelium shiny or dull?
Berkelium has a silvery appearance.
Is berkelium explosive?
Berkelium is not explosive; but a sufficient quantity of berkelium (practically impossible to be obtained) can reach the critical mass.
What are some elements of berkelium?
Berkelium is a radioactive element in the actinide series. Its symbol is Bk, and its atomic number is 97. It does not occur in nature. Its longest lived isotope, 247Bk, has a half life of 1380 years, and is the only isotope with a half life longer than a year.
What element is named after state of California?
That element is Berkelium, symbol "Bk" and atomic number 97, a radioactive element in the heavy "actonoid" series. Berkelium is named after the Californian university town of Berkeley where it was first synthesized. Scientists at the University of California's Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (simply known as "Berkeley Lab") first synthesized Berkelium in 1949. They created it by bombarding a small piece of Americium ("Am" atomic number 95) with alpha particles within a cyclotron.
How much is a pound of berkelium?
Berkelium is extremely rare, radioactive and unstable; berkelium is not for sale.
What does berkelium and uranium have in common?
Uranium and berkelium are radioactive elements.
Does berkelium have a odor?
Berkelium is a radioactive metal without odor.
What does berkelium feel like?
Berkelium is a radioactive metal, solid, silvery-white.
Manmade radioactive element synthesised in a cyclotron?
berkelium
What kind of element is berkelium?
Berkelium is an artificial element, radioactive, unstable, solid, metal, atomic number 97 etc.
What is unique about curium and berkelium?
Curium and berkelium are artificial chemical elements, very rare, unstable and radioactive. Members of the actinides group.
What does berkelium do?
Berkelium is a radioactive element with the atomic number 96. No practical uses for berkelium have been found and the small amounts that have been created have been used exclusively for scientific research.
What are berkelium's nuclear properties?
Some berkelium nuclear properties are: - berkelium is radioactive and unstable - berkelium has 26 isotopes and isomers - the electron configuration is [Rn]5f97s2 - berkelium has 97 protons in the nucleus; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope - during disintegration berkelium emit alfa particles, electrons or positrons
What is description of berkelium?
Berkelium is a metal, solid, member of the actinoids group, radioactive, artificial, atomic number 97, the isotope with the longest half life is 247Bk, etc.
What is the city in California named after an element?
I'd look at some of the radioactive heavy elements. For example Berkelium, Californium, and Americium.
Man made radioactive element first synthesised in a cyclotron around 50 years ago?
berkelium
