Synthetic Elements Handout Name:_________________________________Date:_____________________Period:_____ Synthetic Elements Handout Synthetic elements are radioactive elements that were not discovered occurring in nature but were artificially produced elements (isotopes). Some of these elements were later shown to exist in trace amounts in nature. Synthetic elements are usually produced as short-lived members of natural radioactive decay. Technetium • Element 43 was discovered in 1937. • First element produced artificially. • Discovered in a sample of molybdenum, which was bombarded by deuterons in a cyclotron. • Found in the spectrum of S-, M-, and N-type stars, and its presence in stellar matter is leading to new theories of the production of heavy elements in the stars. • Used in many radioactive isotope tests because of its ability to chemically bind to many biologically active molecules. Promethium • Element 61 was chemically identified in 1947. • Identified by ion-exchange chromatography while performing experiments involving the fission of uranium and subsequent neutron bombardment of neodymium. • It can be used as a nuclear-powered battery by capturing light in photocells that convert it into electric current. Such a battery would have a useful life of about 5 years. Astatine • Synthesized in 1940 by bombarding bismuth with alpha particles. • Exists in equilibrium with uranium and thorium in the earth’s crust, but the total amount is less than 1 oz. • Sometimes used as a radioactive tracer. Francium • Discovered in 1939 as a result of an alpha disintegration of actinium. • Naturally occurring in uranium minerals, however, there is probably less than an ounce of francium at any time in the total crust of the earth. • Of the first 101 elements, it is the most un-stable. • The longest-lived isotope with a half-life of 22 minutes. Transuranium Elements • Atomic number’s 93 – 100. • neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium and fermium • Created by bombarding a heavy element, such as uranium or plutonium with neutrons or alpha particles. Page 1 of 2 © 2004 High School Technology Initiative (HSTI) Educational Materials: The ATOM: Nuclear Name:_________________________________Date:_____________________Period:_____ Plutonium • Produced in 1940 by deuteron bombardment of uranium in a cyclotron. • It was a key material in the development of the industrial use of nuclear power. • 1 kg is equivalent to about 22 million-kilowatt hours of heat energy. • Also used as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons. • Detonation of 1 kg of Plutonium produces an explosion equal to about 20,000 tons of chemical explosive. Curium • Discovered in 1944 at the wartime Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago. • Very toxic when absorbed into the body because it accumulates in the bones and disrupts the formation of red blood cells. • Used in the space program as a heat source (they generate heat as they undergo radioactive decay) for compact thermionic and thermoelectric power generation. • Used as alpha particle source for the Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer on Mars. Americium • Discovered in 1944 at the wartime Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago. • It was used in industrial measuring devices as a portable source for gamma radiography, and as an ionization source in household smoke detectors. Transfermium Elements • Atomic number 101 or greater. • mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium, bohrium, hassium, meitnerium, Element 110, Element 111, Element 112, Element 114, Element 116 and Element 118 • These elements are produced one atom at a time by the fusion of the nuclei of two lighter elements. • The half-lives of these elements range from minutes to milliseconds.

  • NOBELIUM Element Symbol: No Atomic Number: 102
    NOBELIUM Element Symbol: No Atomic Number: 102 An initiative of IYC 2011 brought to you by the RACI KERRY LAMB www.raci.org.au NOBELIUM Element symbol: No Atomic number: 102 The credit for discovering Nobelium was disputed with 3 different research teams claiming the discovery. While the first claim dates back to 1957, it was not until 1992 that the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry credited the discovery to a research team from Dubna in Russia for work they did in 1966. The element was named Nobelium in 1957 by the first of its claimed discoverers (the Nobel Institute in Sweden). It was named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist who invented dynamite, held more than 350 patents and bequeathed his fortune to the establishment of the Nobel Prizes. Nobelium is a synthetic element and does not occur in nature and has no known uses other than in scientific research as only tiny amounts of the element have ever been produced. Nobelium is radioactive and most likely metallic. The appearance and properties of Nobelium are unknown as insufficient amounts of the element have been produced. Nobelium is made by the bombardment of curium (Cm) with carbon nuclei. Its most stable isotope, 259No, has a half-life of 58 minutes and decays to Fermium (255Fm) through alpha decay or to Mendelevium (259Md) through electron capture. Provided by the element sponsor Freehills Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys ARTISTS DESCRIPTION I wanted to depict Alfred Nobel, the namesake of Nobelium, as a resolute young man, wearing the Laurel wreath which is the symbol of victory.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.
