Answer 3

Californium has 98 protons and typically 98 electrons, arranged in energy levels around the nucleus. It belongs to the actinide series of elements and its most common isotope, californium-252, has 98 neutrons in its nucleus. The atomic radius, electron configuration, and other properties of californium are determined by its atomic structure.

Answer 4

Californium has 98 protons and neutrons.
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different.
Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 98

Answer 5

Californium has a silvery metallic appearance.
