INTRODUCTION
Bohrium is an extremely rare, unstable chemical element. The large number of particles in the nucleus makes the atom unstable and causes the atom to split apart into smaller components soon after it is created.
It was renamed from unnilseptium to bohrium, in honour of Danish physicist and Nobel laureate Niels Bohr, who made important contributions to nuclear physics and the understanding of atomic structure.
