This is a highly [[radioactive]] synthetic element whose most stable [[isotope]] has a [[half life]] of less than 70 seconds. This element therefore is not used for anything and little is known about it. Rutherfordium is the first [[transactinide element]] and is is predicted to have chemical properties similar to [[hafnium]].
