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

DiscoverersHeavy Ion Research Laboratory (HIRL)
Discovery LocationGermany
Discovery Year1976
Etymology (Name Origin)Named in honor of Niels Bohr
Pronunciationneels-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.
