Chemical Properties

Einsteinium Tribromide, Is a light-brown crystalline solid compound of Einsteinium (Es) [6] , with the chemical formula , not to be confused with . It is a Binary compound of Einsteinium and bromine, with a ratio of 1:3. Einsteinium makes the compound when it has a +3 Oxidation state. when it has +2 it makes .

History

Einsteinium Tribromide, was made, with Tiny amounts of einsteinium, from the Ivy mike test in 1952, Analysis confirmed the presence of elements 99 and 100,which they named Einsteinium, and Fermium, 99 was Es and 100 was Fm, They originally made Einsteinium E, but Es was chosen by the IUPAC. They made by putting it in Hydrobromic acid () and it made as a result. they also made other Einsteinium halides like

Synthesis

Einsteinium Tribromide was first made with Hydrobromic acid and Einsteinium Trioxide, with the following (balanced) equation:

Health Hazards

Einsteinium Tribromide is highly toxic and radioactive, As Bromine, while not a radioactive element, causes Toxicity. [7] And Einsteinium is a potent alpha emitter and can cause various cancers. [8]
