The melting point of californium is: 900 0C.
The density of californium at room temperature is 15,1 g/cm3.
As a metal californium is a heat conductor but no data exist on the thermal conductivity.
At room temperature californium is a solid metal.
Yes, californium is a heavy radioactive metal that can conduct electricity, like most other metals. However, its practical use in conducting electricity is limited due to its high cost, rarity, and radioactive nature.
Californium-252 is used to treat some cancers.
Californium commonly forms compounds such as californium oxide (Cf2O3) and californium chloride (CfCl3). These compounds are primarily used in scientific research due to californium's radioactive properties.
Californium typically forms compounds with ligands to stabilize its high radioactivity. Some common molecules containing californium are californium chloride (CfCl3), californium nitrate (Cf(NO3)3), and californium dioxide (CfO2).
Some of the uses for californium are: help starts nuclear reactors....!
Californium is used to treat some cancers by neutron irradiation.
I'd look at some of the radioactive heavy elements. For example Berkelium, Californium, and Americium.
Not californium, but neutrons emitted by californium.
All the isotopes of californium are radioactive, artificial and unstable.
Some smoke detectors contain californium. It a radioactive neutron emitter and is a man made element.
Californium has 98 protons.
Californium is radioactive and a strong neutrons emitter; californium can be lethal.
Californium is a metal.
