It was not until 1961 that a weighable quantity (about 0.01 microgram) of the element was separated; it was used to prepare the element mendeleviummendelevium , artificially produced radioactive chemical element; symbol Md; at. no. 101; mass no. of most stable isotope 258; m.p. 827°C;; b.p. and sp. gr. unknown; valence +1, +2, +3.

Weighable quantities of einsteinium have since been prepared by neutron bombardment of plutonium. Seventeen isotopes, all of which are radioactive, are known. Einsteinium-252, the most stable isotope, has a half-life of 472 days. EinsteiniumEs, a synthetic radioactive chemical element, a member of the actinide series; atomic number, 99. Einsteinium has no stable isotopes; it has known isotopes with mass numbers 243 through 256. The seventh transuranium element to be discovered, einsteinium was identified by A. Ghiorso and others in December 1952 in the debris from a thermonuclear explosion in the course of work involving members of the University of California Radiation Laboratory, the Argonne National Laboratory, and the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (USA). The isotope produced was 253Es, with a half-life of 20.5 days, originating from the beta decay of 253U and daughters; the 235U was formed by the essentially successive capture of 15 neutrons by 238U. Einsteinium can be investigated with macroscopic quantities using the isotopes 253Es (half-life 20.5 days), 354Es (half-life 276 days), and 255Es (half-life 38.3 days), whose production by the irradiation of lighter elements is severely limited because of the required long sequence of neutron capture reactions over long periods of time in high-neutron-flux reactors. Most of the investigations have used the short-lived 253Es because of its greater availability, but the use of 254Es will increase as it becomes more available. In any case, the investigation of einsteinium is very difficult because of the high specific radioactivity and small available quantities of the isotopes. Einsteinium metal, which is quite volatile, can be prepared by the reduction of EsF3 with lithium and has a face-centered cubic crystal structure. The melting point is 860±30°C. Einsteinium exists in normal aqueous solution in most stable form as Es +3 (green), although Es +2 can be produced under strong reducing conditions. The Es+3/Es+2 reduction potential is estimated to be − 1.24 ± 0.2 volt on the scale in which the hydrogen ion-hydrogen potential is 0.0 volt. Numerous solid compounds, such as Es2O3, EsCl3, EsOCl, EsBr2, EsBr3, Esl2, and Esl3, have been synthesized and studied. The electron structure of the gaseous element is 5f117s2 (beyond the radon structure). REFERENCESeaborg, G. T. lskusstvennye transuranovye elementy. Moscow, 1965. (Translated from English.)G. T.
