History

Hassium was first synthesized in 1984 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 lead-208 with accelerated nuclei of iron-58 to produce 3 atoms of the isotope hassium-265. From the Latin word Hassias meaning Hess, the German state

DiscoverersHeavy Ion Research Laboratory (HIRL)
Discovery LocationGermany
Discovery Year1984
Etymology (Name Origin)Named in honor of Henri Hess, Swiss born Russian chemist known for work in thermodydamics.
PronunciationHES-i-em (English)
Hassium is harmful due to its radioactivity
More than 100 atoms of hassium have been synthesized to date

Uses

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

Sources

Formed by the bombardment of lead-208 with iron-58.
