INTRODUCTION
Seaborgium 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.
Seaborgium, which was temporarily called unnilhexium, is the first element that was named for a living person; after U.S. nuclear chemist Glenn T. Seaborg
