Preferred Label : americium;
RADLEX synonyms : Am;
Definition : Americium. A completely man-made radioactive actinide with atomic symbol Am, atomic
number 95, and atomic weight 243. Its valence can range from 3 to 6. Because of
its nonmagnetic ground state, it is an excellent superconductor. It is also used in
bone mineral analysis and as a radiation source for radiotherapy. [MeSH];
