Kurtschakovium

Japanese: Kurtschakovium
Kurtschakovium

...A general term for elements with atomic numbers larger than uranium in the periodic table, i.e. elements numbered 93 and above. In 1937, element 43, which was previously thought to exist on Earth, was artificially created for the first time, and by around 1940, elements 85 and 61 had been successfully created. Since then, attempts have been made to create elements heavier than uranium, the heaviest naturally occurring element. In 1940, American EM McMillan et al. irradiated uranium with neutrons to create element 93, neptunium, and further bombarded 238 U with deuterons to create 238 Np, which decayed to produce element 94, plutonium. ...

…周期表ウランよりも原子番号の大きい元素,すなわち93番元素以降の元素の総称。1937年,それまで地球上には存在しないと思われていた43番元素がはじめて人工的につくられ,さらに40年ころまでに85番元素や61番元素の製造に成功して以来,天然に存在する最も重い元素のウランよりもさらに重い元素をつくる試みがなされるようになった。そして40年,アメリカのマクミランE.M.McMillanらがウランに中性子を照射して93番元素ネプツニウムをつくり,さらに238Uを重陽子で衝撃して238Npをつくると,これがβ崩壊して94番元素プルトニウムが得られることを見いだした。…
