Californium slowly tarnishes in air at room temperature. Californium compounds are dominated by the +3 oxidation state. The most stable of californium's twenty known isotopes is californium-251, with a half-life of 898 years. This short half-life means the element is not found in significant quantities in the Earth's crust.
Found on Earth in trace quantities by Olavi Erämetsä in 1965; so far, promethium is the most recent element to have been found on Earth. [194] 97 Berkelium: 1949 G. Thompson, A. Ghiorso and G. T. Seaborg (University of California, Berkeley) Created by bombardment of americium with alpha particles. [195] 98 Californium: 1950 S. G. Thompson, K ...
Californium(III) oxychloride (CfOCl) was the first californium compound to be discovered. [15] Californium(III) polyborate is unusual in that californium is covalently bound to the borate. [16] Tris(cyclopentadienyl)californium(III) (Cp 3 Cf) presents itself as ruby red crystals.
32 of these have names tied to the Earth and the other 10 have names connected to bodies in the Solar System. The first tables below list the terrestrial locations (excluding the entire Earth itself, taken as a whole) and the last table lists astronomical objects which the chemical elements are named after.

An analysis of U.S. Geological Survey data compiled by SD Bullion in 2023 found that a total of 10,373 gold-bearing locations have been uncovered in the state. ... Most of the gold is under the ...
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.
A mineral grain from a meteorite preserved evidence that water was present on Mars 4.45 billion years ago, and it may have created hot springs habitable for life.
