Berkelium is a synthetic element. It doesn't occur in nature because of its instability, so must be made in a laboratory.
Discovered by Stanley G. Thompson, Albert Ghiorso, Glenn T. Seaborg, Kenneth Street - in December 1949, at Berkeley Laboratory, University of California.
The nuclear reaction is:
24195Am + 42He → 24397Bk + 2 1n
Berkelium is a radioactive metal that is silvery-white in color. It is a rare earth element and is typically found in trace amounts in nature. Berkelium is highly reactive, especially in its divalent state.
The hardness of berkelium, a synthetic element, has not been specifically measured. However, as a general trend for actinide elements, berkelium is expected to be relatively soft, like most metals in the actinide series.
Yes, berkelium is a synthetic radioactive metallic element with the symbol Bk and atomic number 97. It is classified as a metal in the periodic table.
The density of berkelium is approximately 14.78 grams per cubic centimeter.
Elements discovered by Berkeley Laboratory physicists include astatine, neptunium, plutonium, curium, americium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, dubnium, and seaborgium.Berkelium and Californium are named for the University (city) and the state.The elements Lawrencium and Seaborgium are named after Professors Lawrence and Seaborg
