Californium is one of the few transuranium elements that have practical applications. Most of these applications exploit the property of certain isotopes of californium to emit neutrons. For example, californium can be used to help start-up nuclear reactors, and is employed as a source of neutrons when studying materials with neutron diffraction and neutron spectroscopy
Californium has 98 protons.
Art room temperature californium is paramagnetic.
There are 2 valence electrons in Californium. Although there are 7 levels, the 7th level(the outermost level) has 2.
Californium does not occur naturally. It is produced as a result of nuclear explosions and nuclear experiments.
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element The atomic number of californium is 98. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element The atomic number of californium is 98.
Californium is not for everyday uses.
Californium has not uses in everyday life.
Californium chloride has not uses now.
Some of the uses for californium are: help starts nuclear reactors....!
When you go to your local nuclear facility and eat the waste infected soil surrounding it, you may "bump into" traces of californium. This however is NOT a GOOD IDEA, for Cf is a strong emitter of neutrons. You should strenuously avoid contact with this material.
Not californium, but neutrons emitted by californium.
All the isotopes of californium are radioactive, artificial and unstable.
Californium has 98 protons.
Californium is radioactive and a strong neutrons emitter; californium can be lethal.
Californium is a metal.
Californium is not crucial.
