Brief Introduction
Bohrium (Bh) is a synthetic, radioactive transactinide element. Key details about Bohrium (Bh) are as follows:
Uses: No practical applications. Used only in scientific research.
Production/Extraction: Produced by bombarding bismuth with chromium ions in particle accelerators.
History: Discovered in 1981 by a team at GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Germany. Named after Niels Bohr.
Health Effects & Safety: Highly radioactive. Extreme rarity means no health data.
Price/Market: Not commercially available. Produced only for research.
Properties: Radioactive, most stable isotope Bh-274 has half-life of about 54 seconds, expected to behave chemically similar to rhenium.
