Americium is a synthetic element with the atomic number 95. It does not occur naturally on earth because it has a short half life and breaks down into other elements. It was first made by Glenn Seaborg in 1944 by bombarding plutonium with neutron. It was named Amercium after the Americas - because an element had already been named Europium after Europe.
