Third most abundant element in the universe. It is the most abundant element in the earth's crust, and makes up almost 21% of the atmosphere. Used in steel making, welding, and supporting life. Naturally occuring ozone (O3) in the upper atmosphere shields the earth from ultraviolet radiation. Obtained primarily from liquid air by fractional distillation. Small amounts are made in the laboratory by electrolysis of water or heating potassium chlorate (KClO3) with manganese dioxide (MnO2) catalyst. WuG5WTId-IY Oxygen

Scientists working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, USSR reported their discovery of element 106 in June 1974.

Synthesis was also reported in September 1974 at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory by the workers of the Lawrence Berkeley and Livermore Laboratories led by Albert Ghiorso and E. Kenneth Hulet.

It was produced by collisions of californium-249 with oxygen atoms. Named after Glenn Seaborg, American nuclear chemist and Nobel prize winner 8 1774 Joseph Priestley, Carl Scheele England, Sweden From the Greek words "oxy genes" meaning "acid" (sharp) and "forming" (acid former)

Seaborgium is harmful due to its radioactivity

There are 12 known isotopes of seaborgium
