Berkelium

metal; hexagonal, a=0.3416 nm, c=1.1069 nm; in trivalent state, its properties are close to that of Ce+++; ionic radius of Bk+++ is 0.096nm, of Bk++++ is 0.0860 nm; enthalpy of vaporization 382kJ/mol; enthalpy of fusion 7.92 kJ/mol; first discovered in 1949 [KIR78] [KAT86] [MER06] The solubility properties of berkelium in its two oxidation states are entirely analogous to those of the actinide and lanthanide elements in the corresponding oxidation states. Thus in the tripositive state such comp

Berkelium atom is an actinoid atom and a f-block element atom.|Berkelium is under investigation in clinical trial NCT02189122 (Comparative Effects of Aspirin and NHP-544C).|A man-made radioactive actinide with atomic symbol Bk, atomic number 97, and atomic weight 247. Its valence can be +3 or +4. Twelve isotopes have been produced with mass numbers 240-251.
