209Pb + 54Cr → 262Bh + 1n **
 * Isotopes: Isotopes abundances; radioactive isotopes; isotopes masses; nuclear spins; and nuclear magnetic moment


 * Discovery: It was synthesized in 1976 by a Soviet team led by Y. Oganessian at the Institute for Nuclear Research at Dubna in Russia. Discovered by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Munzenberg at Darmstadt, Germany in 1981.**
 * Name: In 1994 a committee of IUPAC rejected the name nielsbohrium since there was no precedence for using a scientist's complete name in the naming of and element and thus recommended that element 107 be named bohrium. This was opposed by the discoverers who were adamant that they had the right to name the element. The matter was handed to the Danish branch of IUPAC who voted in favor of the name bohrium. There was some concern however that the name might be confused with boron and in particular the distinguishing of the names of their respective oxo-ions bohrate and borate. Despite this, the name bohrium for element 107 was recognized internationally in 1997. The IUPAC subsequently decided that bohrium salts should be called bohriates.**


 * Uses: Currently no uses for bohrium outside of basic scientific research.**

 * Interesting Facts: Only a few atoms have ever been made of Bohrium. Isolation of an observable quantity of bohrium has never been achieved, and may well never be. This is because bohrium decays very rapidly through the emission of a-particles.**
