The physical properties of Mendelevium metal element are hard to understand since it is synthetic. Mendelevium has never been produced in bulk quantities it is impossible to do. The atomic weight is .258.
The chemistry of mendelevium is mostly know only in solution. Mendelevium is a transferium element that does not have an application or economic role. Their is no health or environmental effects. The transferium elements to do not exist in nature and they have a very unstable nuclei so they are hard to make and detect.
There are some interesting facts about Mendelevium. One fact is that Mendelevium was named after Dimitri Mendeleev. Dimitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist who developed the Periodic table of chemical elements. Another interesting fact is that mendelevium is one of the newest elements and it was first synthesized on February 19,1995, at the University of California.
