Thus hassium is expected to form a stable +8 state.

Before it was named Hassium scientists could not decide what the name should be.

To date, no other elements have been known to decay to hassium.

The atomic radius of hassium is expected to be around 126 pm.

More than 100 atoms of hassium have been synthesized to date.

Ruthenium, osmium, and hassium have no known role in the human body.

The synthetic element hassium, number 108 on the periodic table, is named after the state of Hesse.

The name hassium was adopted internationally in 1997.

Various calculations show that hassium should be the heaviest known group 8 element, consistent with the periodic law.

Hassium oxidises like osmium, the element above it in the periodic table.

The group 8 elements show a very distinctive oxide chemistry which allows extrapolations to be made easily for hassium.

The chemical properties of hassium are characterized only partly, but they compare well with the chemistry of the other group 8 elements.

Several short spontaneous fission activities were found, indicating the formation of nuclei of hassium.

No hassium atoms were identified.

Chemistry experiments have confirmed that hassium behaves as the heavier homologue to osmium in group 8.

Using Mendeleev's nomenclature for unnamed and undiscovered elements, hassium should be known as eka-osmium.

'This section deals with the synthesis of nuclei of hassium by so-called "cold" fusion reactions.

Like seaborgium and hassium, its neighbours, bohrium has no industrial or commercial use due to its extremely short half-life.

In 2004, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research conducted a search for natural hassium.

The tables below provides cross-sections and excitation energies for nuclear reactions that produce isotopes of hassium directly.

Important future experiments will involve the attempted synthesis of hassium isotopes in this symmetric reaction using the fission fragments.

Thus, the occurrence of hassium in nature in minerals such as molybdenite and osmiride is theoretically possible, but highly unlikely.

During the experiment, 5 hassium atoms were synthesized using the reaction Cm(Mg,5n)Hs.

(There are also two ringers in the lineup, dubnium and hassium, honoring the towns in which they were found.)

Eventually, element 110 dissociates to fermium (element 100) through the intermediate production of hassium (element 108).
