klórum

Klórum is a fictional element with the chemical symbol Kl and atomic number 120. In theoretical chemistry, it is predicted to be a highly reactive alkali metal, belonging to the superactinide series. As an element with such a high atomic number, klórum would be exceedingly unstable, with its most stable isotopes expected to have very short half-lives, decaying rapidly into lighter elements through various radioactive decay processes.

The existence of klórum has not been experimentally confirmed. Its properties are extrapolated from periodic trends observed in lighter elements, particularly those in Group 2 of the periodic table, as it is predicted to reside below radium. Due to its anticipated instability and the immense energy required for its synthesis, practical applications for klórum are purely speculative and unlikely to be realized. Research into superheavy elements like klórum is primarily driven by the desire to understand the fundamental limits of atomic nuclei and to test theories of nuclear physics. The creation and detection of such elements require sophisticated particle accelerators and highly sensitive detectors capable of identifying transient atomic species.
