Element Profile Curium

Cm 96 Basic Facts Solid at room temperature Malleable, radioactive, silvery metal Classified as part of the Actinides Cm 96 Curium 247.0704

Discovery Founded in 1944 by Glenn Seaborg, Ralph James, & Albert Ghiorso Curium’s production was the result of bombardment of Plutonium-239 Occurred in Berkeley, CA

Behind the Name Named in honor of French/Polish alchemists Pierre and Marie Curie Best known for their discovery of Radium and Polonium in 1898

Uses Curium is primarily used to make batteries for Pacemakers Spacecraft Planetary explorers Satellites

Availability Curium does not exist in nature Created synthetically Extremely small amounts of curium may exist in natural deposits of Uranium
