Seaborgium

Located at Group 6 and Period 7 of the Periodic Table is one of the man - made super heavy element. This is Seaborgium.

First discovered in 1974 by a team of scientist led byAlbert Ghioso, first created ( not isolated, since it is one of the man - made element) also in 1974 also by a team of scientists led by Albert Ghioso.

Super Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator

There is not much information known about Seaborgium. However, we knew that Seaborgium was first produced by a team of scientists led by Albert Ghiorso working at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in Berkeley, California, in 1974. We can also know that they created Seaborgium by bombarding atoms of californium-249 with ions of oxygen-18 using a machine called the Super-Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator. After that, Seaborgium was created.

Like all Super - Heavy synthesised elements, Seaborgium's chemical properties and physical properties are currently unknown. However, we know that it is highly radioactive, since it belongs to Period 7, where scientists believe that any element at Period 7 is radioactive. Some of the elements at Period 7 is Francium, Radium, Actinium and more. These elements are radioactive. So, therefore, it is predicted by the scientist that

Latin Name : Seaborgium
Electrons per shell : [ 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 12, 2 ]
Discoverer : Scientist team led by Albert Ghioso ( 1974 )

Creator ( not isolator ) : Team led by Albert Ghioso (1974 )
Element's : Atomic Mass : 266 u ( predicted )
: Density : 35 g/cm³ ( predicted )
: Type : Transition Metal

Chemical Properties :
There is almost no known chemical properties of Seaborgium, since it is a man - made element. Moreover, Seaborgium's isotopes' half lives are short. So, there is almost no information about Seaborgium is to be obtained. However, this is what we know :

Seaborgium - 263

• 15 isotopes : 3 of them are : Seaborgium - 263 : Protons : 106 : Neutrons : 157 : Electrons : 106 ( Half Life : 1 seconds ) Seaborgium - 267 : Protons : 106 : Neutrons : 161 : Electrons : 106 ( Half Life : 1.4 minutes ) Seaborgium - 269 : Protons : 106 : Neutrons : 163 : Electrons : 106 ( Half Life : 14 minutes )

Physical Properties :

Once again, because of its short half lives, there is almost no known physical properties for Seaborgium. However, this is what we know :

• silvery white / metallic gray color (predicted )
• Conductor of Heat
• Conductor of Electricity
• Highly radioactive
• Melting Point : Unknown ( no prediction )
• Boiling Point : Unknown ( no prediction )

How Seaborgium got its name?

Seaborgium got its name from the 1951 Noble Prize sharer in Chemistry holder with LBL director Edwin McMillan and Glenn T. Seaborg. Glenn T. Seaborg is the American Nuclear scientist. Seaborgium's name was approved by IUPAC only in 1997 which the Seaborgium name was officially used in the Periodic Table.

Uses

Seaborgium don't really have any important uses. However ,we know that Seaborgium is used in laboratory for research purposes, mainly to synthesise more Super - Heavy element.
