  2. Actinium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinium

    Actinium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ac and atomic number 89. It was first isolated by Friedrich Oskar Giesel in 1902, who gave it the name emanium; the element got its name by being wrongly identified with a substance André-Louis Debierne found in 1899 and called actinium. The actinide series, a set of 15 elements between actinium ...

    The actinide series is a group of chemical elements with atomic numbers ranging from 89 to 102, [note 1] including notable elements such as uranium and plutonium.The nuclides (or isotopes) thorium-232, uranium-235, and uranium-238 occur primordially, while trace quantities of actinium, protactinium, neptunium, and plutonium exist as a result of radioactive decay and (in the case of neptunium ...

    Actinium-227 is the most stable isotope of actinium, with a half-life of 21.772 years. It mainly (98.62%) undergos beta decay, but sometimes (1.38%) it will undergo alpha decay instead. [1] 227 Ac is a member of the actinium series. It is found only in traces in uranium ores – one tonne of uranium in ore contains about 0.2 milligrams of 227 Ac.
