ELEMENT- SEABORGIUM Candace Pang
2
SEABORGIUM Atomic Number : 106 Abbreviation : Sg Atomic Mass : 259.1144, 261.1161, 263.1182
3
Creation Made from Californium by barraging the element with Oxygen nuclei. Cf O Sg 4n Done with 88” cyclotrons. Produces about a billion atoms per hour. Bombarding Curium with Neon produces heavier isotopes.
4
Isotopes Isotope 263 was made and identified in 1974 by American scientists. Led by Albert Ghiorso at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California and Livermore National Lab, USA. Isotope mass range: 259-266
5
Never encountered normally and/or naturally Only a few have been made Extremely radioactive Dangerous Only used for study Chemical properties are similar to Tungsten
6
Glen Theodore Seaborg Named after Glen Theodore Seaborg. Was an American nuclear chemist. 1951 Nobel Peace Prize with Edward McMillian. Discovered and organized transuranium elements (Plutonium-Nobelium)
