Atomic properties
Atomic weightIn reference to a certain isotope of a chemical element, atomic weight (more accurately relative atomic mass though also called simply atomic mass is the mass of one atom of the isotope expressed in units atomic mass unit amu) such that the Carbon-12 isot [243] amu]]
Atomic radiusAtomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outmost stable electron orbital in a atom that is at equilibrium and is measured in picometers or Angstroms. Atomic radii are called covalent radii (a reference to the types of bonds formed) whe (calc.) 175 pm (no data)To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 100 pm and 1 nm (10-10 m and 10-9 m).

Covalent radiusCovalent radius in chemistry corresponds to half of the distance between two identical atomic nuclei, bound by a covalent bond. It is expressed in terms of pm or A. Chemistry. no data
van der Waals radiusThe van der Waals radius of an atom is the radius of an imaginary hard sphere which can be used to model the atom for many purposes. Van der Waals radii are determined from measurements of atomic spacing between pairs of unbonded atoms in crystals. The va no data
Electron configurationElectron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule or other body. Specifically, it is the placement of electrons into atomic, molecular, or other forms of electron orbitals.

Americium is a synthetic element in the periodic table that has the symbol Am and atomic number 95. A radioactive metallic element, americium is an actinide that was obtained by bombarding plutonium with neutrons and was the fourth transuranic element to be discovered. It was named for the Americas, by analogy with europium.
