31. The low critical mass of californium led to some exaggerated claims about possible uses for the element. 32. Once in the body, only 0.05 % of the californium will reach the bloodstream. 33. The only californium ion that is stable in aqueous solutions is the californium ( III ) cation. 34. The only californium ion that is stable in aqueous solutions is the californium ( III ) cation. 35. "' Californium "'is the radioactive metallic chemical element with atomic number 98. 36. For example, the nuclear fusion of californium -249 and carbon-12 creates rutherfordium-261. 37. The 5f, 6d, 7s, and 7p orbitals of californium are all involved on the bonding. 38. Half of the californium deposited in the skeleton and liver are gone in 50 and 20 years, respectively. 39. They claimed to have synthesized the element by bombarding a californium -249 target with nitrogen-15 ions. 40. Further shorter lived nuclides have been detected in the spectra of stars ( technetium, promethium, californium ).
