CoperniciumFrom its position in the periodic table, in group 12 below mercury, this element should have the physical properties of a heavy metal and, were it long-enough lived, it should be possible for it to have two kind of chemistry, corresponding to oxidation states M(I) and M(II), with the latter more unstable. Following periodic trends, it is expected to be a liquid metal more volatile that mercury.
Health effects of CoperniciumAs it is so unstable, any amount formed would decompose to other elements so quickly that there’s no reason to study its effects on human health. Environmental effects of CoperniciumDue to its extremely short half-life (about 0.24 milliseconds), there’s no reason for considering the effects of Copernicium in the environment.
