Lawrencium (symbol: Lr)[note 2] is a synthetic chemical element, the last of the actinoid series.[note 3]
Lawrencium was first prepared in 1961 by the team of Ghiorso et al. at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (now the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) in Berkeley, California,[3] and named (as is the laboratory) after Ernest Lawrence, the developer of the cyclotron. As a transfermium element, it cannot be prepared in weighable quantities: 256Lr (t½ = 26 s), the isotope used for the first definitive chemical studies, is prepared at a rate of about three atoms per minute by the 24998Cf(115B,4n)256103Lr reaction.[4]
Notes and references
Notes
- ↑ The electron configuration of lawrencium is uncertain.[1]
- ↑ The symbol Lw was originally used for lawrencium, but this was changed to Lr by decision of IUPAC in 1963.
- ↑ Some authors consider lawrencium to be a transition metal and a member of group 3 of the periodic table. Whether or not this is the correct interpretation, Lr is (also) still an actinoid, by definition.[2]
