Berkelium ( II ) oxide, BkO, has been reported as a brittle gray solid but its exact chemical composition remains uncertain.
23.
Berkelium ( III ) fluoride ( BkF 3 ) is also a yellow-green solid, but it has two crystalline structures.
24.
Two forms of berkelium ( III ) bromide are known : one with berkelium having coordination 6, and one with coordination 8.

There is no practical application of berkelium outside of scientific research which is mostly directed at the synthesis of heavier transuranic elements and transactinides.
27.
The intergrowth of californium in berkelium occurs at a rate of 0.22 % per day and is an intrinsic obstacle in studying berkelium properties.

Berkelium ( III ) phosphate ( BkPO 4 ) has been prepared as a solid, which shows strong fluorescence under excitation with a green light.
30.
Of the aimed for 117 protons, calcium has 20, and thus they needed to use berkelium, which has 97 protons in its nucleus.
