Each isotope has another type of decay but generally from californium are formed curium isotopes and an alpha particle.

What happens when californium 251 decays into curium 247?

When californium-251 decays into curium-247, it undergoes alpha decay, releasing an alpha particle (helium nucleus) in the process. This results in the transformation of the nucleus to curium-247 with a simultaneous decrease in atomic number and mass number.


Is Californium the same at room temperature?

Californium is a radioactive element with a half-life of around 2.6 years, and it decays through spontaneous fission. At room temperature, it would emit alpha particles and gamma rays as it undergoes radioactive decay. Due to its radioactivity, Californium is not stable and can be harmful to living organisms if mishandled.


How is element californium obtained?

For the first time californium is obtained with the nuclear reaction:Cm-242 + He--------------Cf-245 + nThe important isotope Cf-252 is obtained in nuclear reactors after a long time irradiation of plutonium with neutrons.
