properties

Berkelium (III) iodide is a yellow solid and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system in the space group  R 3 (No. 148) with the lattice parameters a  = 758.4  pm and c  = 2087 pm with six formula units per unit cell . Its crystal structure is isotype with bismuth (III) iodide . Template: room group / 148

safety instructions

Classifications according to the CLP regulation are not available because they only include chemical hazard and play a completely subordinate role compared to the hazards based on radioactivity . The latter also only applies if the amount of substance involved is relevant.
