Periodic table / Transition metals
108Hassium
Hassium is a transition metal (predicted) in group 8, period 7. It has only ever been made a few atoms at a time, so nobody has seen it as a solid, liquid or gas.
- Symbol
- Hs
- Atomic number
- 108 protons in the nucleus
- Standard atomic weight
- None. Hassium has no stable isotopes, so the mass of a sample depends on which isotopes it holds.
- Electron configuration
- [Rn] 5f14 6d6 7s2
- Electrons in each shell
- 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 14, 2
- Group, period, block
- 8, 7, d
- Family
- Transition metals (predicted)
- State at 25 °C
- not known
- Electronegativity
- no value
- First ionisation energy
- 733.3 kJ/mol (7.6 eV) (estimated by NIST)
