Americium is and actinide.
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.
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')
Americium is a member of the actinoids family.
Americium (Am) is a member of the actinoids family.
The actinoids family
Americium is an artificial metal, solid, radioactive, placed in the actinoids family.
actinides group
Actinides group
Americium belongs to the actinide element family, which is a group of radioactive elements found in the actinide series of the periodic table. Actinides are characterized by their high atomic numbers and radioactivity. Members of this family include uranium, plutonium, and thorium.
Americium is a member of the actinoids family of chemical elements, period 7 of the periodic table of Merndeleev.
Americium: - atomic number: 95 - family: actinoids - period: seven - metal - radioactive - artificial element - solid - unstable
The chemical symbol of americium is Am.
Not sure about portons but americium has 95 protons.
No. Americium is an actinide.
