Copernicium properties
The transition metals, also called transition elements, is the group to which copernicium belongs. In this group of chemical elements to which copernicium belongs, are those located in the central part of the periodic table, specifically in block d. Among the characteristics that copernicium has, as well as those of the rest of transition metals, is to include in its electronic configuration the d orbital, partially filled with electrons. Properties of this type of metal, among which copernicium is found, are its high hardness, having high boiling and melting points and being good conductors of electricity and heat.
The state of copernicium in its natural form is unknown, presumably solid. Copernicium is a chemical element of unknown appearance, probably silver-white or gray metallic, and belongs to the group of transition metals. The atomic number of copernicium is 112. The chemical symbol for copernicium is Cn.
Atomic properties of copernicium
The atomic mass of an element is determined by the total mass of neutrons and protons that can be found in a single atom belonging to this element. Regarding the position where to find the copernicium within the periodic table of the elements, the copernicium is in group 12 and period 7. Copernicium has an atomic mass of 285 u.
The electron configuration of the copernicium is [Rn] 5f14 6d10 7s2 an assumption based on Mercury. The electronic configuration of the elements determines the way in which the electrons are structured in the atoms of an element.
