Seaborgium: the essentialsBrief description: seaborgium is a synthetic element that is not present in the environment at all. It has no uses.
IsolationIsolation: only very small amounts of of element 106, seaborgium, have ever been made. The first samples were made through a nuclear reaction involving fusion of an isotope of californium, 249Cf, with one of oxygen, 18O. 18O + 249Cf → 263106Sg + 4 1n Isolation of an observable quantity of seaborgium has never been achieved. More recently, other isotopes have been made at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland using neon atoms to bombard californium isotopes. 248Cf + 22Ne → 266Sg + 41n WebElements ShopWebElements now has an online shop at which you can buy periodic table posters, mugs, T-shirts, games, molecular models, and more. |
