Americium

Symbol Am

Atomic Number 95

Atomic Mass  243.0614

FAMILY- Actinide Transuranium element

Pronounciation  am-uh-REE-see-um

Overview

Americium is called an actinide or transuranium element. It occurs in Row 7 of the periodic table, a chart that shows how the chemical elements are related to each other. The first element in that row is actinium, which explains the name actinide. The term transuranium means "beyond uranium" on the periodic table. Uranium has an atomic number of 92. Any element with an atomic number larger than 92, therefore, is called a transuranium element.

Answer 2

I think you are in the wrong category...but what the heck I'll give it a try:

The Americum element is one of the transuranium elements in the actinide series of the periodic table.  The first 10 transuranium elements, together with actinium, thorium, protactinium, and uranium, constitute the actinide elements, which are chemically analogous to the rare earth elements.  They are, in order, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, and nobelium.

Is that what you wanted?
