Lawrencium

Lawrencium (californium and has no known uses.

Notable characteristics

The appearance of this element is unknown, however it is most likely silvery-white or gray and actinides.^{[citation needed]}

A strict correlation between actinide according to IUPAC.^[1]

History

Lawrencium was boron-10 and B-11 ions in the Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator (HILAC).

The transmutation nuclei became electrically charged, recoiled with a half-life of 4.2 seconds.

In 1967, researchers in Dubna, Russia reported that they were not able to confirm an alpha emitter with a half-life of 4.2 seconds as ²⁵⁷103. This assignment has since been changed to ²⁵⁸Lr or ²⁵⁹Lr. Eleven isotopes of element 103 have been synthesized with ²⁶²Lr being the longest lived with a half-life of 216 minutes. The isotopes of lawrencium decay via electron capture (in order of most to least common types).

The origin of the name, preferred by the lutetium.^[2]
