seaborgium
sea·bor·gi·um S0183750 (sē-bôr′gē-əm)n. Symbol Sg An artificially produced radioactive element with atomic number 106 that has only been produced in trace amounts. The isotope with mass number 266 has the longest confirmed half-life (21 seconds), although heavier isotopes with longer half-lives have been reported. See Periodic Table. [After Glenn Theodore Seaborg.]seaborgium (ˈsiːbɔːɡɪəm) n (Elements & Compounds) a synthetic transuranic element, synthesized and identified in 1974. Symbol: Sg; atomic no: 106[C20: named after Glenn Seaborg]sea·bor·gi·um (sē-bôr′gē-əm) Symbol Sg A synthetic, radioactive element that is produced by bombarding californium with oxygen ions or bombarding lead with chromium ions. Its most stable isotope has a half-life of about 20 seconds. Atomic number 106.

Flerov at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research at Dubna reported bombarding lead-207 and lead-208 atoms with chromium-54 ions to produce an isotope with mass number 259 and a half-lifehalf-life, measure of the average lifetime of a radioactive substance (see radioactivity) or an unstable subatomic particle.

In Sept., 1974, an American research team led by A. Ghiorso at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory reported bombarding californium-249 atoms with oxygen-18 ions to create an isotope with mass number 263 and a half-life of 0.9 sec. Because their work was independently confirmed first, the Americans suggested the name seaborgium to honor the American chemist Glenn T. SeaborgSeaborg, Glenn Theodore , 1912–99, American chemist, b.

An international committee decided in 1992 that the Berkeley and Dubna laboratories should share credit for the discovery. The syntheses of at least 12 isotopes of seaborgium, with half-lives ranging from 2.9 msec (Sg-258) to 1.9 min (Sg-271), have been confirmed. In 1994 a committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), convened to resolve naming disputes for the transactinide elementstransactinide elements , in chemistry, elements with atomic numbers greater than that of lawrencium (at. no. 103), the last member of the actinide series.
