1 Einsteinium Element 99

2 Einsteinium Element Symbol: Es
Einsteinium is a synthetic element from the actinides metal series, it is the seventh transuranic element.

3 Why einsteinium? Einsteinium is called Einsteinium because it was found from the component of the debris from the first hydrogen bomb in 1952.

4 Discovery Einsteinium was found by Albert ” coincidence” Ghiorso, in 1952 from the debris of the first hydrogen bomb.

5 Uses To this day there have been no found uses for Einsteinium

6 How its found “The isotope they discovered, einsteinium-253, has a half-life of about 20 days and was produced by combining 15 neutrons with uranium-238, which then underwent seven beta decays. Today, einsteinium is produced though a lengthy chain of nuclear reactions that involves bombarding each isotope in the chain with neutrons and then allowing the resulting isotope to undergo beta decay. Einsteinium's most stable isotope, einsteinium-252, has a half-life of about days. It decays into berkelium-248 through alpha decay or into californium-252 through electron capture. Since only small amounts of einsteinium have ever been produced, it currently has no uses outside of basic scientific research.”(3)
