Seaborgium, including Technical Data, Safety Data and its high purity properties, research, applications and other useful facts are discussed below. Scientific facts such as the atomic structure, ionization energy, abundance on Earth,conductivity and thermal properties are included.
Seaborgium‘s is appearance is unknown but it is thought to be silvery, white or metallic gray. Little is known about the element and it has no known uses. Seaborgium is a synthetic element and therefore is not naturally found in the environment.
Seaborgium is a is a D-Block, Group 6, Period 7 element. The number of electrons in each of Seaborgiums shells is 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 12, 2 and its electronic configuration is [Rn] 7s2 5f14 6d4. In its elemental form Seaborgium‘s CAS number 54038-81-2.
Seaborgium was first created in 1974 at the Lawrence-Berkeley Laboratory and the discovery was later confirmed in 1993 at the same institution.
Abundance. The following table shows the abundance of Seaborgium and each of its naturally occurring isotopes on Earth along with the atomic mass for each isotope.
