darmstadtium

Also known as Ds, element 110, Uun, ununnilium

Darmstadtium is a synthetic chemical element; it has symbol Ds and atomic number 110. It is extremely radioactive: the most stable known isotope, darmstadtium-281, has a half-life of approximately 14 seconds. Darmstadtium was first created in November 1994 by the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany, after which it was named.

AI overview

Darmstadtium is a human-made chemical element (symbol Ds, atomic number 110) that was first created in 1994 at a German research center. It is extremely radioactive and breaks down very quickly—its most stable form lasts only about 14 seconds before decaying into other elements.

In the periodic table, it is a d-block transactinide element. It is a member of the 7th period and is placed in the group 10 elements, although no chemical experiments have yet been carried out to confirm that it behaves as the heavier homologue to platinum in group 10 as the eighth member of the 6d series of transition metals. Darmstadtium is calculated to have similar properties to its lighter homologues, nickel, palladium, and platinum.
