History

Bohrium was first convincingly synthesized in 1981 by a German research team led by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Münzenberg at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research (Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung) in Darmstadt. The team bombarded a target of bismuth-209 with accelerated nuclei of chromium-54 to produce 5 atoms of the isotope bohrium-262. Named after Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist

Discoverers	Heavy Ion Research Laboratory (HIRL)
Discovery Location	Germany
Discovery Year	1976
Etymology (Name Origin)	Named in honor of Niels Bohr
Pronunciation	neels-BOR-i-em (English)

Bohrium is harmful due to its radioactivity

The only confirmed example of isomerism in bohrium is in the isotope ²⁶²Bh

Uses

Bohrium is used for scientific research purposes only. It has no significant commercial applications.

Sources

Obtained by bombarding bismuth-204 with chromium-54.
