Has one tried searching for articles on superheavy elements?

Is one familiar with the actinide series? All are radioactive, although Th-232 and U-238 have very long half-lives.

The superheavy elments begin with element 104 (Rutherfordium), and all are radioactive with very short half-lives. There is not practical use for them since they are high radioactive, radiologically unstable (very short half-lives), and are very expensive.

Here is a good article on superheavy elements -

A European website for transfermium elements -

Here is a wikipedia article on transactinides (or IUPAC would prefer transactinoids), which are also known as superheavy elements - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactinide_element

Can you be more specific? Do you mean are they radioactive? Yes. Of course, they only last minutes to microseconds, so you'd better hurry.

r there any disadvantage about superheavy elements??
