@brainiac7510 жыл бұрын
The very heavy elements are extremely unstable and quickly turns into other 'lighter' elements through radioactive decay or spontaneous fission. The half life of the most stable isotope of lawrencium for example is 11 hours. So even if they were formed in freak accidents of galactic proportions they would disappear quickly. As far as we know the very heavy elements like lawrencium have only been made by man and never in nature.

Chan Hien Exactly, the elements above atomic number 100 (fermium) have only been made in invisible amounts in laboratories by smashing smaller atoms together in large man-made machines. A few atoms can be detected in day-long experiments but we have never seen them with our naked eyes. Uranium with atomic number 92 is the highest we can collect in visible amounts in nature. Anything above is extremely rare or doesn't exist at all in nature. More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transuranium_element

Radioactivity does not really change the conductivity of a material. Radioactivity is related to the nuclear core whereas electricity is about the electrons around the nuclear core. Beta radiation is electrons but even very powerful beta sources would not really emit enough electrons to change conductivity in a metal. Alpha sources are however used in smoke detectors to ionize the air inside a metal dome enough to make the air a little conductive (which smoke blocks and triggers the alarm).
@brainiac7511 жыл бұрын
Yes, because I always test the styrofoam alone with the magnet before putting the element on to make sure no impurities, static electricity or just basic draft etc. isn't affecting the result. I also use these tests personally to give a little extra guarantee that I have the element that the seller claim to have sold me :) And wouldn't a static charge in the styrofoam be discharged on a water bath? I have yet to see an effect with just styrofom and a magnet on a water bath.

Neodymium magnets that are thin compared to their diameter are extremely fragile. Never let them smash together or fly/fall towards iron.
