Flerovium - Fl

Chemical properties of flerovium

Flerovium (Fl) is a synthetic, radioactive element with atomic number 114. The representative mass number shown here identifies a radioactive isotope; it is not a standard atomic weight. Only a few atoms have been produced, so bulk properties such as density, melting point, and boiling point are unknown.

Research and occurrence

Flerovium is a synthetic, radioactive element produced in extremely small quantities. Researchers have studied a few atoms to test its chemical behavior; predictions suggest its chemistry may differ from lighter Group 14 elements. Its bulk properties remain unknown, and it has no commercial or water-treatment use.

Health and environmental context

Flerovium is produced only in specialised nuclear research and is not encountered as an environmental contaminant in ordinary water or process-water treatment. This page is an element overview, not guidance for handling radioactive materials.
