Yes, Americium is a synthetic element that has the symbol Am and atomic number 95.
As radioactive metallic element, americium is an actinide that was obtained in 1944 by Glenn T. Seaborg who was bombarding plutonium with neutrons. (And, of course: Glenn was 'man')
The atomic number of americium (Am) is 95.
The half life of americium 241 is 432,2 years.
The prncipal nuclear reaction to obtain americium is: 239Pu---------(n,γ)------ 240Pu---------(n,γ)------ 241Pu ---------(β-)------241Am Americium is a by-product of nuclear fuels burn-up and can be extracted (with many difficulties and costs) from these irradiated fuels in reprocessing plants.
Americium-243 might undergo alpha decay to become neptunium-239, and here is that equation: 95243Am => 93239Np + 24He++ The americium-243 has undergone transmutation to become neptunium-239, and the alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, can be seen on the tail end of the equation.
Americium is in the Actinide family of elements. It is a synthetic element with the symbol Am and atomic number 95. Actinides are a series of elements in the periodic table that have properties similar to actinium.
No. Americium is a synthetic element. It does not occur naturally on earth.
Americium is an artificial chemical element, man made !
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: atomic mass of an isotope - number of protons
Yes, americium has a high density of around 13.6 grams per cubic centimeter. This makes it denser than most common materials such as iron or aluminum.
Americium is considered to be a highly radioactive element. Its most common isotope, americium-241, emits alpha particles and gamma rays, making it hazardous to health if not handled properly. Special precautions should be taken when working with americium to avoid exposure to its radiation.
The chemical symbol of americium is Am.
Not sure about portons but americium has 95 protons.
No. Americium is an actinide.
Americium is an artificial element; americium don't exist in the nature.
Element Am is Americium. Americium is radioactive element number ninety five. I would not wanna mess with Americium
The chemical symbol of americium is Am.
Americium is named after America.
