Thermal Conductivity of Berkelium (Bk) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Heat transfer depends on a material property called thermal conductivity, even in an material as small as an atom of Berkelium. Ok, so what is the thermal conductivity of an atom of Bk?

Note: Learn more about the thermal conductivity here.

In the case of Berkelium, thermal conductivity is 0.1 W/cmK. Now let's talk about the cool facts about Berkelium...
