I have no idea what you mean by that.

Racist chart. Where are the Muslim and African nations listed?
To: AdmSmith
115 was found in a meteorite some years ago.
Additionally, Bob Lazar had a few ounces that he brought home from S-4 and experimented with, however it was stolen from him a few months later.
Confirmed by George Knapp Emmy winning TV reporter.

Racist chart. Where are the Muslim and African nations listed?They invented the numbers and colors used in the chart. Without those historic achievements we would not know what the other countries did. </s

Let me run one by you - they found another new element called Alabamium

Kehonium has a nice ring to it.

:: Physics is dead. These so-called elements exist for a fraction of a second. No chemical-molecules are possible; no weighable amount ::
First, I must point you to “mass v. weight”. You get what that means, I’m sure.
YET...and that’s a BIG YET!
I agree with you, sir (ma’am?). So-called “Chemical-Physicists” are creating short-life “elements” for their own professional purpose and advancement. We should always determine the STABLE life of any thing we want to add to the Table.
Otherwise it is, simply put, designer chemistry.

Moochellium - the heaviest element on the periodic table.
To: AdmSmith
I was hoping they’d go for Japanium - we need a “J” element to complete the alphabetic version of the Periodic Table.

these so-called elements, exist for a fraction of a second The length of existence is irrelevant. The definition of an element is the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
no chemical-molecules are possible
An element IS a molecule, one that cannot be further broken down into simpler molecules. These just happen to decay quickly.

Next, 120 will be Obamaium (Ob). It will also be known as Moronium.
To: Cletus.D.Yokel
So-called Chemical-Physicists are creating short-life elements for their own professional purpose and advancement. Perhaps, but they are successfully filling out the periodic table, which is organized by atomic number.
These elements aren't stable, but we didn't know that until someone created them, and observed them to decay quickly.
Perhaps they will find an element with a higher atomic number that IS stable, and has a useful property.
To: AdmSmith
I think there were 93 elements when I went to school. Lot of new material getting discovered.

A toast to Mendeleev! I am still amazed that he was able to piece together such a logically based way of portraying the elements at that time. Truly. There's a nice Ted Talks video on his feat.

Scientists think there is an island of stable elements further up the chart. Possibly stable enough to be useful.
Yes, that would be very interesting. Nuclear physics is still an experimental science and there are no good, and practical, theories for calculating the behavior of heavy elements. Just approximate calculations that are uncertain.
