As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Californium. But how do we know how much does a Cf atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Cf, we can open any periodic table and search for Californium.
In the case of Californium the answer is 251,0796. However there is a lot of funny facts about Californium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
