The Chemistry of Superheavy Elements (2nd Edition)

Specifications

Book Description

The Chemistry of the Superheavy Elements; 2nd edition (PDF) provides complete coverage of the chemistry of a series of elements beginning with atomic number 104 – the transactinides or superheavy elements – including their nuclear production and properties in nuclear reactions at heavy-ion accelerators. The contributors to this work include many renowned scientists who; during the last many years; have made vast contributions towards understanding the physics and chemistry of these elusive elements; both theoretically and experimentally. The main emphasis here is on demonstrating the fascinating studies involved in probing the architecture of the Periodic Table at its uppermost end; where relativistic effects drastically influence chemical properties. All known chemical properties of these elements are described together with the experimental techniques applied to study these short-lived man-made elements one atom-at-a-time. The status of theoretical chemistry and of empirical models is presented as well as aspects of nuclear physics. In addition; one chapter outlines the meanderings in this field from a historical perspective and the search for superheavy elements in Nature.
