Used in the production of fertilizers and detergents. Some is used in fireworks, safety matches, and incendiary weapons. Also some applications for it and some of its compounds which glow in the dark. Found most often in phosphate rock. Pure phosphorus is obtained by heating a mixture of phosphate rock, coke, and silica to about 1450 °C. nXDar3TMiqI Phosphorus

Copernicium was first created on February 9, 1996, at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research (Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung) in Darmstadt, Germany, by Sigurd Hofmann, Victor Ninov et al.

This element was created by firing accelerated zinc-70 nuclei at a target made of lead-208 nuclei in a heavy ion accelerator.

A single atom of copernicium was produced with a mass number of 277. Named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus 15 1669 Hennig Brand Germany From the Greek word "phosphoros" meaning "bringer of light"

Copernicium is harmful due to its radioactivity

Copernicium has no stable or naturally-occurring isotopes

Copernicium is used for scientific research purposes only.
