  1. Fermium by Elliot Rieflin

  2. Uses for Fermium • only very little fermium has ever been made so fermium has no uses. • Scientists don’t think enough will be gathered to tell what it can be used for

  3. Properties of Fermium • A radioactive metal • obtained only in millionth-of-a-gram quantities in nuclear reactors • Color is not known • melting point 1800 C • Phase at Room Temperature is Solid

  4. CoolFacts About … Fermium • Has a 30min. life span • Actinides series • Isolated in the debris of a hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific Ocean. • The element is named after Enrico Fermi, the atomic physicist. • 1952 by G.R. Choppin and co-workers • It was by chemical identification of 250Fm,(type of Fermium) that production of Element 102 (nobelium) was confirmed. • pronounced FER-mi-em. • fermium is produced though a lengthy chain of nuclear reactions that involves bombarding each isotope in the chain with neutrons and then allowing the resulting isotope to go trough beta decay. • Also produced by bombarding lighter transuranium elements with still lighter particles or by neutron capture. • Also produced by bombardment of plutonium with neutrons. • Found in earths crust

  5. Isolated in the debris of a hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific Ocean. by G.R. Choppin made Named after Enrico Fermi. In 1952 Also made by His co-workers Fermium Phase at Room Temperature is Solid obtained only in millionth-of-a-gram quantities in nuclear reactors By Bombarding plutonium with neutrons. It was by Studying A type of Fermium That nobelium Was confirmed. Melting point Is at 1800 K A highly radioactive metal
