Lawrencium

=Lawrencium=


 * Atomic Number:** 103


 * Protons:** 103


 * Electrons:** 103


 * Neutrons:** 159


 * Average Atomic Mass:** 262


 * Isotopes:** No naturally occuring isotopes known


 * Discovery:** Lawrencium was created by four American scientists, Albert Ghiorso, Torbjørn Sikkeland, Almon E. Larsh and Robert M. Latimer, in March, 1961.
 * Name:** It was named after Ernest Lawrence. Its atomic symbol is Lr. He chose that symbol because he wanted to name it after himself. The origins of element names is a good site to fine to use on this element because it gives you a lot of information.


 * Uses:** Since only tiny amounts of lawrencium have ever been produced, there are currently no uses for it outside of basic scientific research.


 * Interesting Facts**: I learned that Lawrencium was created by four American scientists, Albert Ghiorso, Torbjørn Sikkeland, Almon E. Larsh and Robert M. Latimer, in March, 1961.
