Copernicium's atomic number is 113 and its symbol is Cn. Its known isotopes are extremely radioactive and have only been created in a laboratory. The most stable known isotope, copernicium-285, has a half-life of approximately 28 seconds. It is named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, and it was first created in 1996 by the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research near Darmstadt, Germany. Copernicium is calculated to have several properties that differ from its lighter homologs in group 12, and it may have more similarities to the noble gases such as radon. Predictions vary on whether solid copernicium would be a metal, semiconductor, or insulator. This display is contained within crystal clear Lucite acrylic.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.
