Brief Introduction
Moscovium (Mc) is a synthetic, radioactive element. Key details about Moscovium (Mc) are as follows:
Uses: No practical applications. Used only in scientific research.
Production/Extraction: Produced by bombarding americium with calcium ions in particle accelerators.
History: Discovered in 2003 by teams at JINR in Dubna, Russia and LLNL in the USA. Named after Moscow Oblast, the Russian region where Dubna is located.
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 Mc-290 has half-life of about 0.65 seconds, expected to behave chemically similar to bismuth.
