Fermi, of Rome, who is investigating the products of neutron bombardment of various elements, recently reported the discovery of an element of atomic weight exceeding that of uranium (see NATURE, June 16, p. These elements are called radioactive elements. It is estimated that crude pitchblende contains about one per cent of the new element. The discoverer has suggested the name “Bohemium” for the new element, which he considers is probably the parent element of protactinium and the disintegration products of the actinium series. The principal source of geothermal heat is the radioactive decay of isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium, all of which have been present in the Earth. It was re-converted into the more soluble yellow silver salt, 115 milligrams of which were obtained. This gave the expected T1(93)O4 as a red crystalline precipitate. 6, 1945, a 10-foot-long (3 meters) bomb fell from the sky over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Koblic concentrated the mother liquor from the alkali treatment of pitchblende in the extraction of uranium and radium compounds, and the acidified filtrate was precipitated first with silver nitrate and finally with thallium nitrate. Uranium is a radioactive metal central to one of the most devastating acts of war in history. Atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons, or excess energy in their nucleus. Radioactive elements decay by emission of one or more types of radiation: (1) -particles, chiefly from heavy elements. Acting upon the supposition that the sodium salt of H(93)O4 would be very soluble, Dr. Radioisotopes are radioactive isotopes of an element. The Radioactive Elements (1935-2019) 1935-1944: technetium, francium, astatine, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium 1945-1954: promethium, berkelium. Radiation in tap water is a serious health threat, especially during pregnancy. Naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) is undisturbed radioactive material that occurs in its natural form. PERFECT FOR YOUR PERIODIC TABLE: Each of these light-up coasters feature a radioactive element. Drinking water for more than 170 million Americans contains radioactive elements at levels that may increase the risk of cancer, according to an EWG analysis of 2010 to 2015 test results from public water systems nationwide. It should thus form an acid analogous to HReO 4 and also salts similar to the permanganates and perrhenates. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a bit of chemistry in their decor. The new element would be a congener of manganese and of rhenium, which was discovered in 1925. The element has been assigned the atomic number 93 and its atomic weight has been found to be 240 from an analysis of the silver salt, Ag(93)O 4. THE Czechoslovak newspapers reported on July 5 that an element of higher atomic weight than uranium has been discovered in Joachimsthal pitchblende by Dr.
