Californium is a metallic chemical element of the periodic table, found in the actinide family. It is used to start nuclear reactors, for oil exploration, and the treatment of cancer. Although "discovered" or "found" is not perhaps the correct term, as Californium does not exist naturally on earth, it is created. The synthetic radioactive metal, californium, was first created in 1950 by Albert Ghiorso, Kenneth Street Jr. and Stanley G. Thompson. It was named after the University of California and the state of California.
It was discovered in a lab in California, USA.
Californium is a solid metal, radioactive, unstable.
Californium is an artificial chemical element.

I believe there is only one element named after a state, and that is Californium. However, there is in fact an element named Berkelium (check spelling?) that originates from Berkely, Calfornia.
Californium is a member of the actinides group.
Californium is a pure element.
At room temperature californium is a solid metal.

Californium does not occur naturally. It is produced as a result of nuclear explosions and nuclear experiments.
Californium has a silvery metallic appearance.
Californium is a man made element; usually found in nuclear physics/radiochemistry laboratories.
