MEITNERIUM

PROPERTIES OF MEITNERIUM
Meitnerium is a radioactive, synthetic element about which
little is known. It is classified as a metal and is a solid at room
temperature.

Meitnerium has seven isotopes with known half-lives. The most

stable is meitnerium-278 (278Mt), with a half-life of about eight
seconds. It decays into bohrium-274 (274Bh) through alpha decay.
The atomic weight for manmade transuranium elements is
based on the longest-lived isotope. These atomic weights should be
considered provisional since a new isotope with a longer half-life
could be produced in the future.

USES OF MEITNERIUM
Only small amounts of meitnerium have ever been made.
Currently, it is only used in scientific study.
 DARMSTADTIUM

PROPERTIES OF DARMSTADTIUM
Darmstadtium is a radioactive, synthetic element about which little is
known. It is classified as a metal and is expected to be a solid at room
temperature. The first produced atoms had a lifetime of only 1/100th of a
second, but scientists later produced heavier, more stable versions.

Darmstadtium has nine isotopes with known half-lives, the most stable of
which is darmstadtium-281 (281Ds), with a half-life of about 20 seconds. It has two
possibilities for decay: 85 percent of the time, it decays through spontaneous
fission, but 15 percent of the time it decays through alpha decay.
The atomic weight for manmade transuranium elements is based on the
longest-lived isotope. These atomic weights should be considered provisional
since a new isotope with a longer half-life could be produced in the future.

USES OF DARMSTADTIUM
Only a few atoms of darmstadtium have ever been made, and
they are currently only used in scientific study.
 ROENTGENIUM

PROPERTIES OF ROENTGENIUM

Roentgenium is a radioactive, synthetic element about

which little is known. It is classified as a metal and is
expected to be solid at room temperature.
Roentgenium has seven isotopes whose half-lives are
known. The most stable isotope is 281Rg, with a half-life of
about 26 seconds. It decays through spontaneous fission.

USES OF ROENTGENIUM
Only a few atoms of roentgenium have ever been
made, and they have no current application outside of
scientific study.
