WHAT DOES LAWRENCIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lawrencium

Lawrencium is a radioactive synthetic chemical element with the symbol Lr and atomic number 103. In the periodic table of the elements, it is a period 7 d-block element and the last element of the actinide series. Chemistry experiments have confirmed that lawrencium behaves as the heavier homologue to lutetium and is chemically similar to other actinides. Lawrencium was first synthesized by the nuclear-physics team led by Albert Ghiorso on February 14, 1961, at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory of the University of California. The first atoms of lawrencium were produced by bombarding a three-milligram target consisting of three isotopes of the element californium with boron-10 and boron-11 nuclei from the Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator. The team suggested the name lawrencium, and the symbol "Lw", but IUPAC changed the symbol to "Lr" in 1963. It was the final and the heaviest element of the actinide series to be synthesized. All isotopes of lawrencium are radioactive; its most stable known isotope is lawrencium-266, with a half-life of approximately 11 hours.

Definition of lawrencium in the English dictionary

The definition of lawrencium in the dictionary is a transuranic element artificially produced from californium. Symbol: Lr; atomic no: 103; half-life of most stable isotope, 256Lr: 35 seconds; valency: 3.
