Japanese Scientists Create Heaviest Ever Element, Number 113
Posted on 06/09/2016 2:40:41 AM PDT by AdmSmith
Nihonium, named after Japan (Nippon is a Japanese word for Japan), with an atomic number of 113. Its symbol is Nh.
Moscovium (Mc), element 115, named after the Russian capital city.
Tennessine (Ts), 117, named after — you guessed it — the state of Tennessee. ("Tennessine is in recognition of the contribution of the Tennessee region, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, to superheavy element research," the IUPAC states.)
And finally, 118 is oganesson (Og), which bears the name of Russian physicist Yuri Oganessian, who led several elemental discoveries. Nature reports this is only the second time an element has been named for a living scientist.

“Physics is dead..”
I have no idea what you mean by that.
Japanese Scientists Create Heaviest Ever Element, Number 113

Racist chart. Where are the Muslim and African nations listed?
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.
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.
5.56mm
:: 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.
I was hoping they’d go for Japanium - we need a “J” element to complete the alphabetic version of the Periodic Table.
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.
It will also be known as Moronium.
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.
I think there were 93 elements when I went to school. Lot of new material getting discovered.
Thanks AdmSmith.
Truly. There's a nice Ted Talks video on his feat.
I am going to check that out, thanks for the link SV...
