This talk is about the American Nuclear Chemist Glenn T. Seaborg, his accomplishments, and his contribution to chemistry through research. An element in the periodic table was named after him and he was involved in the discovery and synthesis of 9 other “transuranium elements.” These are known as unstable and radioactive elements in the periodic table ranging from half-lives of 2 million years to half-lives of less than fractions of a second.<br/>Seaborg was a very important nuclear chemist and had a large influence on America’s history. The topic which will be discussed in greater detail is Seaborg’s nuclear chemistry accomplishments, discoveries, and his role in the Manhattan project.
