7.  No known uses

8.  Located in debris of thermonuclear explosions  Very little exists at all and none naturally

9.  Since very little exists in the world, Einsteinium’s reactivity with air is unknown  For the same reason its reactivity with water is also largely unknown although it is believed that it would form einsteinium oxide

10.  Einsteinium is named after Albert Einstein  Einsteinium was first discovered in 1952 by Albert Ghiorso at the University of California, Berkeley, and another team headed by G.R. Choppin  No einsteinium exists naturally  It has no known uses  Its color is also unknown  Created by neutron irradiation of uranium in a thermonuclear explosion  Now created in labs by irradiating plutonium http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=- G_4nJLNXA0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=- G_4nJLNXA0
