Mendelevium properties

Mendelevium is part of the group of actinides. Actinides that have a higher atomic number cannot be found in nature and their life span is shorter. All isotopes in the actinide group, including mendelevium, are radioactive.

The state of Mendelevium in its natural form is unknown, presumably solid. Mendelevium is a chemical element of unknown appearance, probably metallic silver white or gray and belongs to the group of actinides. The atomic number for Mendelevium is 101. The chemical symbol for Mendelevium is Md.

Atomic properties of mendelevium

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 its position within the periodic table of elements, it can be found in period 7. Mendelevium has an atomic mass of 258 u.

The electron configuration of the mendelevium is [Rn] 5f13 7s2. The electronic configuration of the elements determines the way in which the electrons are structured in the atoms of an element.
