DarmstadtiumVerbindungen

Darmstadtium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Ds and atomic number 110. It is a highly radioactive, extremely rare element. In the periodic table, it is classified as a member of the 10th group and the seventh period. Darmstadtium is a solid at room temperature, though its exact physical properties are not well-established due to its short half-life and the minute quantities produced. It is expected to be a metal.

Darmstadtium was first synthesized in 1994 by a German research team at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany, after which it was named. The synthesis was achieved by bombarding lead-208 atoms with chromium-54 ions. Several isotopes of darmstadtium have been identified, with darmstadtium-281 being the most stable with a half-life of approximately 11.1 seconds. Due to its instability, darmstadtium has no known commercial or industrial applications. Its study is primarily of academic interest, contributing to the understanding of nuclear physics and the properties of superheavy elements.
