Seaborgium Sg, element

For element 104 the names Kurchatovium (Ku) and Rutherfordium (Rf) were proposed by the groups at Dubna and Berkeley, respectively, thereby emphasizing their claim to the discoveries. The International Union on Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) has now decided on the following names element 104 Rutherfordium (Rf), element 105 Dubnium (Db), element 106 Seaborgium (Sg), element 107 Bohrium (Bh), element 108 Hassium (Hs), and element 109 Meitnerium (Mt). In the Periodic Table and nuclide charts we have thus used io4Rf. 106 8 107 > 108 So far no names have been... 

Abstract In this chapter, the chemical properties of the man-made transactinide elements rutherfordium, Rf (element 104), dubnium, Db (element 105), seaborgium, Sg (element 106), bohrium, Bh (element 107), hassium, Hs (element 108), and copernicium, Cn (element 112) are reviewed, and prospects for chemical characterizations of even heavier elements are discussed. The experimental methods to perform rapid chemical separations on the time scale of seconds are presented and comments are given on the special situation with the transactmides where chemistry has to be studied with single atoms. It follows a description of theoretical predictions and selected experimental results on the chemistry of elements 104 through 108, and element 112. 

In 1994 at an American Chemical Society meeting, it was proposed that element 106 be named seaborgium, Sg, w... 

Based on theoretical calculations some researchers believe that not all transuranium elements will be so unstable. Already, different isotopes of element 106, seaborgium (Sg) have been made that are stable for up 33 times longer than the original isotope discovered in 1974 (even at 33 times longer lifetime it only is stable for a maximum of thirty seconds). It is theorized that some isotopes of the yet to be made transuranium elements should be stable for very long periods of time, allowing them to be studied chemically. Many exciting... 

Seaborgium (Sg) Named after American chemist Glenn Seaborg (1912-1999), who was involved in the discovery of 10 elements... 

Results of these experiments provided strong evidence that elements 104, ruther-fordium (Rf), 105, dubnium (Db), 106, seaborgium (Sg) and, very recently, element 107, bohrium (Bh) (Eichler et al 2000) behave similarly to their lighter homologues... 

Elements 104, 105, and 106 have been named rutherfordium (Rf), dubnium (Db), and seaborgium (Sg), respectively. These elements are synthesized from californium-249 by bombarding with carbon-12, nitrogen-15, and oxygen-18 nuclei, respectively. Four neutrons are formed in each reaction as well. Write balanced nuclear equations for the formation of these elements. 

Element 106 has been named seaborgium, Sg, in honor of Glenn Seaborg, discoverer of the first transuranium element. 

From 1961 to 1971, Seaborg served as the chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission (now the Department of Energy). In this position he had an important role in establishing international treaties to limit the testing of nuclear weapons. Upon his return to Berkeley, he was part of the team that in 1974 first identified element number 106. In 1994, to honor Seaborg s many contributions to the discovery of new elements, the American Chemical Society proposed that element number 106 be named seaborgium (Sg). After several years of controversy about whether an element should be named... 

The first atoms of seaborgium (Sg) were identified in i974. The longest-lived isotope of Sg has a mass number of 266. (a) How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are in an Sg atom (b) Atoms of Sg are very unstable, and it is therefore difficult to study this element s properties. Based on the position of Sg in the periodic table, what element should it most closely resemble in its chemical properties ...
