On the basis of this experiment, the name nobelium was assigned and accepted by the Commission on Atomic Weights of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The acceptance of the name was premature because both Russian and American efforts now completely rule out the possibility of any isotope of Element having a half-life of 10 min in the vicinity of 8.
Early work in on the search for this element, in Russia at the Kurchatov Institute, was marred by the assignment of 8. Confirmatory experiments at Berkeley in have shown the existence of with a s half-life, with a 2. Following tradition giving the right to name an element to the discoverer s , the Berkeley group in , suggested that the hastily given name nobelium along with the symbol No , be retained. Ten isotopes are now recognized, one of which -- -- has a half-life of 3 minutes.

They were unable to produce any isotope of nobelium with a half-life of 10 minutes, but were able to produce nobelium, with a half-life of three seconds, by bombarding curium with carbon A third group, working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, also could not duplicate the Nobel Institute's work but were able to confirm the Berkeley group's work.
Credit for discovering nobelium was eventually given to the scientists working at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, who decided to keep the name nobelium. Nobelium's most stable isotope , nobelium, has a half-life of about 58 minutes.
It decays into fermium through alpha decay , into mendelevium through electron capture or through spontaneous fission. Since only tiny amounts of nobelium have ever been produced, there are currently no uses for it outside of basic scientific research. Number of Stable Isotopes : 0 View all isotope data.
