Physikalische Eigenschaften
Seaborgium (106Sg-266) has several chemical and physical properties similar (homologous)to molybdenum (42Mo-96) and tungsten (74W-184), the elements located just above seaborgiumin group 6 (VIB). Scientists do not know why Sg has properties and characteristicssimilar to the elements above it in group 6. This factor seems odd considering that the twoelements in the transactinide series preceding seaborgium (104Rf-261 and 105Db-262) do nothave homologues above them in groups 4 ad 5. Seaborgium-266 is the most stable isotopeof seaborgium. It has a half-life of 21 seconds and decays into rutherfordium-262 throughspontaneour fission (SF) and alpha emission.
The melting point, boiling point, and density of seaborgium are unknown. What is knownis that its isotopes are radioactive metals with short half-lives and that these isotopes decay byfission and alpha emissions.
