Chemists Uncover Basic Properties of Einsteinium | IE – Interesting Engineering
The study uncovering einsteinium’s basic properties brings chemists one step closer to discovering the “island of stability.” Curious to know more?
After 69 years of slow process, chemists have successfully uncovered the basic properties of einsteinium, the obscure 99th element, which is one of the heaviest elements on the periodic table.
This element was first created in the combustion of a hydrogen bomb on the South Pacific island of Elugelab in 1952 and had preserved its shroud of mystery for some time due to the fact that it doesn’t naturally occur and is unstable to the degree that it’s difficult to gather enough of it to be actually able…
