INTRODUCTION
Nobelium is an artificially produced radioactive element, and one of the transuranium (elements that is after uranium on the periodic table) in the actinide series of the periodic table. It was named after the Swedish inventor and philanthropist Alfred Bernhard Nobel.
Nobelium chemical properties are unknown, but since it is an actinide, its properties should somewhat resemble those of the rare earth elements.
