Lawrencium (Unniltrium, Unt, eka-Lutetium) is a radioactive synthetic element in the periodic table that has the symbol Lr and atomic number 103. Its most stable isotope is 262Lr, with a half-life of approximately 4 hours. Lawrencium is synthesized from californium and has no known uses.

Notable characteristics


The appearance of this element is unknown, however it is most likely silvery-white or gray and metallic. If sufficient amounts of lawrencium were produced, it would pose a radiation hazard. Very little is known about the chemical properties of this element but some preliminary work on a few atoms has indicated that it behaves similarly to the actinides.

Element 103 is a d-block element analogous to lutetium and therefore is increasingly being placed with the other d-block elements in the transition metal chemical series, but it is still most often grouped with the actinides in the periodic table.
