117 Ts (Tennessine Element)

About Tennessine Element

Tennessine is a highly radioactive metal, of which only a few atoms have ever been made. It has Unknown chemical properties, presently it is placed in Halogen but probably a post-transition metal. The name Tennessine is used as a placeholder, This is a Latinate way of saying “one-one-seven-ium” (“ium” is a standard end for element names). Such transuranic elements are always produced artificially and are usually named for a scientist.

Tennessine History

Naming:  After Tennessee region

Discover By: Scientists from Joint institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), in Dubna (Russia), Vanderbilt University, Lawrence Livemore National Laboratory (LLNL), In California (USA), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) (2010).

Discovery of Tennessine Element

In 2004, JINR proposed a joint experiment with ORNL to synthesize element 117. In this proposal they want fusion a berkelium-249 and a calcium beam via bombardment of the berkelium with calcium nuclei. But this experiment was suspended because obtaining the required amount of berkelium-249 was more difficult task than obtaining the californium-252, even it was very costly (around $3.5 Million).

In 2008, ORNL resumed production of californium and extraction of Berkelium, Because ORNL was the only producer of Berkelium. In 250 days they produced 22 miligrams of berkelium, which was enough to perform the experiment.

In 2009, in Research Institute of Atomic reactors (RIAR), berkelium deposited as a 300-nanometer thin layer on a titanium film and tranfered to JINR to installed in the Particle accelerator. Calcium beam was generated by extracting the small quantity of calcium-48, near at Lesnoy (Russia). In july 2009, scientists began the experiment and they had detected the decay of new element-117, via two decay chain. One was odd-odd isotope undergoing 6 α-decays before spontaneous fission, and one was odd-even isotope undergoing 3 α-decays before fission. The isotopes were formed as follows:

²⁴⁹₉₇Bk + ⁴⁸₂₀Ca → ²⁹⁷117 + 3 ¹₀n (1 event)

²⁴⁹₉₇Bk + ⁴⁸₂₀Ca → ²⁹⁷117 + 4 ¹₀n (5 event)

This data analysis provided by the support of JINR, LLNL, RIAR, ORNL, Vanderbilt, The University of Tennessee, and the University of Nevada.

In June 2016, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry IUPAC announced the name of discovered element 117 is Tennessine on the region of Tennessee.

Tennessine Uses

Since only a few atoms of Tennessine have ever been made, so it has no practical use outside of the scientific study, it is only used in research.

Biological role

It has no known biological role.
