Seaborgium is a man made chemical element, radioactive, unstable, atomic number 106, placed in the group 6 and period 7 of the Periodic Table of Mendeleev. Sg is a metal, solid with a formidable predicted density; it is a member of the transactinides family.

All the physical properties of seaborgium are only predicted, not experimentally determined:
- electron configuration: [Rn]5f14.6d4.7s2
- density: 35 g/cm3
- first ionization energy: 757,4 kJ/mol
- empirical atomic radius: 132 pm
- crystalline structure: body centered cubic

The predicted valences are 6, 5, 4, 3, 0; seaborgium is a homologue of wolfram.

Does seaborgium combine with other elements?

Yes, seaborgium can form compounds with other elements, such as oxygen, carbon, and halogens. These compounds are primarily studied through theoretical calculations and have not been extensively researched due to seaborgium's short half-life.


What is the texture of seaborgium?

Oh, dude, seaborgium is a synthetic element, so it's not like you can just go and touch it, you know? But technically speaking, seaborgium is a transactinide element, so its texture would be similar to other elements in that group, which is like, super dense and probably not very touch-friendly. So, like, don't go trying to pet seaborgium anytime soon, okay?


How did seaborgium get its name?

Seaborgium was obtained for the first time, simultaneously, by Albert Ghiorso, J.M. Nitschke, J.R. Alonso, C.T. Alonso, M. Nurmia, E. Kenneth Hulet, R.W. Lougheed, Glenn T. Seaborg from Berkeley, USA and by a team from Dubna, Russia - in 1974.


How much does the element Seaborgium cost for 1 gram?

It doesn't have any practical use and its most stable isotope has a half-life of under two minutes. After an hour, less than one atom out of every billion would remain. It makes no sense to talk about how much it "costs" as if it were possible to buy some.


What state is Seaborgium in at room temperature?

Nonexistent. Seaborgium is highly radioactive, with its most stable isotope having a half-life of about two minutes. I doubt that enough has ever been produced at one time to make its physical state relevant, but it would presumably be a solid, if you could manage to collect enough of it together to matter without the heat produced from its own radioactive decay vaporizing it.
