Californium is a synthetic chemical element; it has symbol Cf and atomic number 98. It was first synthesized in 1950 at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...
Californium is the second-heaviest element for which an organometallic compound is known. A bent californium metallocene has also been isolated and characterized.
Californium (98 Cf) is an artificial element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all artificial elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 245 Cf in 1950. There are 20 known radioisotopes ranging from 237 Cf to 256 Cf and one nuclear isomer, 249m Cf.
Californium is the radioactive metallic chemical element with atomic number 98. It was first produced in 1950 by bombarding curium with alpha particles at the University of California, Berkeley . The element was named for California and the University of California .

Some isotopes undergo spontaneous fission (SF) with emission of neutrons.The most common spontaneous fission source is the isotope californium-252. 252 Cf and all other SF neutron sources are made by irradiating uranium or a transuranic element in a nuclear reactor, where neutrons are absorbed in the starting material and its subsequent reaction products, transmuting the starting material into ...
