Brief Introduction
Flerovium (Fl) is a synthetic, radioactive element. Key details about Flerovium (Fl) are as follows:
Uses: No practical applications. Used only in scientific research.
Production/Extraction: Produced by bombarding plutonium with calcium ions in particle accelerators.
History: Discovered in 1998 by a team at JINR in Dubna, Russia. Named after Georgy Flyorov, founder of the JINR.
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 Fl-289 has half-life of about 2.6 seconds, predicted to be a volatile metal or possibly a gas at room temperature.
