Fleroviumis asyntheticchemical elementalso known aseka-lead.It has the symbolFland has theatomic number114. It is aradioactivesuperheavy element.
Flerovium does not exist in nature. It is made from anuclear reactionbetweenplutoniumandcalcium.The reaction that happens is afusionreaction.
Uses
[change|change source]It currently has no use at the moment as it is being researched right now.
History
[change|change source]Thediscoveryof Flerovium in December 1998 was reported in January 1999 byscientistsat theJoint Institute for Nuclear ResearchinDubna,Russia.[21]The same team of scientists made another isotope of Fl three months later[22]and made it again in 2004 and 2006.
In 2004 in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research checked it was made by another method. They found the final products ofradioactive decay.
After its discovery, the "new" element was namedununquadium.The named changed on May 30th, 2012 to "flerovium". It was named for the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, which was named for Russian physicistGeorgy Flyorov.TheInternational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistrynamed it so.[23]
Chemical properties
[change|change source]Not enough Flerovium has been made to measure itsphysicalorchemicalproperties. It is thought that it would be a soft, dense metal thatchanges colourin air. It may have a lowmelting pointof about 200 °C.
Making it
[change|change source]Flerovium can be made bybombardingaplutonium-244targetwithcalcium-48 as abeamofions.
298Fl - An undiscovered neutron-rich nucleus
[change|change source]According to the nuclear shell model, the undiscovered neutron-rich nucleus298Fl may be a doubly magic nucleus, atop the shell closure at N=184.[24]It is predicted that this atom, amid the closed nuclear shells, expected to have longer half-lives for alpha decay and spontaneous fission. However using the fusion-evaporation method to produce this nuclide is impractical, since more neutron-rich starting materials with low proton numbers are unstable due to beta decay.
Estimates for half-lives for this atom range from a few minutes to several billion years.[source?]
