In the [[periodic table]], it is a [[Block (periodic table)#d-block|d-block | In the [[periodic table]], it is a [[Superheavy element|transactinide element]] in the [[Block (periodic table)#d-block|d-block]]. It is a member of the [[Period 7 element|7th period]] and belongs to the [[group 7 element]]s as the fifth member of the 6d series of [[transition metal]]s. Chemistry experiments have confirmed that bohrium behaves as the heavier [[Homologous series|homologue]] to [[rhenium]] in group 7. The [[Chemical property|chemical properties]] of bohrium are characterized only partly, but they compare well with the chemistry of the other group 7 elements. | ||

Bohrium is the fifth member of the 6d series of transition metals and the heaviest member of [[group 7 element|group 7]] in the periodic table, below [[manganese]], [[technetium]] and [[rhenium]]. All the members of the group readily portray their group oxidation state of +7 and the state becomes more stable as the group is descended. Thus bohrium is expected to form a stable +7 state. Technetium also shows a stable +4 state whilst rhenium exhibits stable +4 and +3 states. Bohrium may therefore show these lower states as well.{{Fricke1975}} The higher +7 oxidation state is more likely to exist in oxyanions, such as perbohrate, {{chem|BhO|4|-}}, analogous to the lighter [[permanganate]], [[pertechnetate]], and [[perrhenate]]. Nevertheless, bohrium(VII) is likely to be unstable in aqueous solution, and would probably be easily reduced to the more stable bohrium(IV).<ref name="Haire" /> | Bohrium is the fifth member of the 6d series of transition metals and the heaviest member of [[group 7 element|group 7]] in the periodic table, below [[manganese]], [[technetium]] and [[rhenium]].

The resulting atoms were thermalised and reacted with a HCl/O<sub>2</sub> mixture to form a volatile oxychloride. The reaction also produced isotopes of its lighter homologues, technetium (as <sup>108</sup>Tc) and rhenium (as <sup>169</sup>Re). The isothermal adsorption curves were measured and gave strong evidence for the formation of a volatile oxychloride with properties similar to that of rhenium oxychloride. This placed bohrium as a typical member of group 7.<ref name="00Ei01">{{cite web|url=http://www.gsi.de/informationen/wti/library/scientificreport2000/Chemistry/9/r_eichler_jb2000.pdf|title=Gas chemical investigation of bohrium (Bh, element 107)|last=Eichler |first=R. |display-authors=etal |work=GSI Annual Report 2000|access-date=2008-02-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219002121/http://www.gsi.de/informationen/wti/library/scientificreport2000/Chemistry/9/r_eichler_jb2000.pdf|archive-date=2012-02-19}}</ref> The adsorption enthalpies of the oxychlorides of technetium, rhenium, and bohrium were measured in this experiment, agreeing very well with the theoretical predictions and implying a sequence of decreasing oxychloride volatility down group 7 of TcO<sub>3</sub>Cl > ReO<sub>3</sub>Cl > BhO<sub>3</sub>Cl.<ref name="Haire" /> | ||

The longer-lived heavy isotopes of bohrium, produced as the daughters of heavier elements, offer advantages for future radiochemical experiments. Although the heavy isotope <sup>274</sup>Bh requires a rare and highly radioactive [[berkelium]] target for its production, the isotopes <sup>272</sup>Bh, <sup>271</sup>Bh, and <sup>270</sup>Bh can be readily produced as daughters of more easily produced [[moscovium]] and [[nihonium]] isotopes.<ref name="Moody">{{cite book |chapter=Synthesis of Superheavy Elements |last1=Moody |first1=Ken |editor1-first=Matthias |editor1-last=Schädel |editor2-first=Dawn |editor2-last=Shaughnessy |title=The Chemistry of Superheavy Elements |publisher=Springer Science & Business Media |edition=2nd |pages=24–8 |isbn= | The longer-lived heavy isotopes of bohrium, produced as the daughters of heavier elements, offer advantages for future radiochemical experiments.
