Seaborgium contains 2 valence electrons in Seaborgium section, Family of 88 metals, Period 7, similar to Chromium, Molybdenum, and Tungsten. Seaborgium is not used in nature nor commonly found because there are very few creations of this metal. At this moment in time it is only used in research. It has no biological role, No common compounds and the Element is human made, I say this because It was first formed by a group of scientist led by Albert Ghiorso working at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory located in Berkeley, California. They created this metal by bombarding Californium-249 with Oxygen-18 using a machine called "The Super-Heavy Iron Linear Accelerator." With this mixture they formed Seaborgium-263 and 4 free neutrons, This creation has a half-life of about one second.
Side Fact:
Albert Ghiorso
Born: July 15, 1915
Passed: December 26, 2010 (95 yrs old)
Cause of death: Heart failure
Education: University of California, Berkeley
Facts: He discovered 12 elements on the periodic table, More than any other scientist. That is 12 elements over 30 years that is nearly one new element every 3 years.
Was offered a job by Glenn Seaborg, They did a lot together, even went to war. When they came back they made a machine (The super heavy iron linear accelerator) that was able to help expand the periodic table so the discoveries they were making could be placed into history.
