Brief Introduction

Livermorium (Lv) is a synthetic, radioactive element. Key details about Livermorium (Lv) are as follows:

Uses: No practical applications. Used only in scientific research.

Production/Extraction: Produced by bombarding curium with calcium ions in particle accelerators.

History: Discovered in 2000 by teams at JINR in Dubna, Russia and LLNL in the USA. Named after Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

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 Lv-293 has half-life of about 61 milliseconds, expected to behave chemically similar to polonium.
