1 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)

7 Bibilography Ensley, John. The Elements. Third Edition. New York: Oxford University Press Inc. 1998. Asimov, Issac. “Seaborg” Encyclopedia Americana. Volume 24. 1999.
