Oganesson

Oganesson is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 118. Moreover, it is the heaviest element ever made. It is a silvery-white metal that is highly radioactive and toxic. Scientists think it would be solid at room temperature, but in reality it may be an unreactive noble gas. However, since only a few … Read more

Tennessine

Tennessine is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 117. It is a silvery-white metal that is highly radioactive and toxic. Tennessine is not found naturally on Earth and must be produced in a laboratory. It is the newest element on the periodic table. It was produced in 2011, at the Joint Institute … Read more

Livermorium

Livermorium is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 116. It is a silvery-white metal that is highly radioactive and toxic. Livermorium is not found naturally on Earth and must be produced in a laboratory. When livermorio atoms were first produced in 2000, they were obtained during a fraction of a second (47 milliseconds). … Read more

Moscovium

Moscovium is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 115. It is a silvery-white metal that is highly radioactive and toxic. Moscovium is not found naturally on Earth and must be produced in a laboratory. Of the heavy element muscovite, only about 100 atoms have been produced artificially. Muscovite was first created at the … Read more

Flerovium

The element flerovium takes its name from the Russian scientist Georgy Flerov. He founded the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubná, Russia, where this element was first produced in a particle accelerator. Flerovium is highly radioactive and its atoms last only a few seconds before splitting apart. Symmary of properties () () Back … Read more

Nihonium

Nihonium is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 113. It is a silvery-white metal that is highly radioactive and toxic. Nihonium is not found naturally on Earth and must be produced in a laboratory. Nihonium is named after the Japanese word nihon, meaning Japan (where it was first produced). The first metallic … Read more

Copernicium

Copernicium atoms are radioactive, and survive for only a few minutes before decaying. Copernicium is created in particle accelerators by colliding lead atoms with zinc atoms. Only a few atoms of this artificial element have been produced. Copernicium is named after Nicolaus Copernicus, the astronomer who proposed the theory that our planet orbits the Sun. … Read more

Roentgenium

Scientists think that roentgenium shares many characteristics with precious metals such as gold and silver. However, its atoms break apart in seconds, so its physicochemical properties have not yet been determined. Rhenium was created in Darmstadt (Germany). It is named after the physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the Nobel laureate who discovered X-rays in 1895. Symmary of properties … Read more

Darmstadtium

Darmstadtium is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 110. It is a silvery-white metal that is highly radioactive and toxic. Darmstadtium is not found naturally on Earth and must be produced in a laboratory. The artificial element darmstadtium, is named after the German city of Darmstadt, home of the Heavy Ion Research Institute, … Read more

Meitnerium

Meitnerium is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 109. It is a silvery-white metal that is highly radioactive and toxic. Meitnerium is not found naturally on Earth and must be produced in a laboratory. Researchers think that meitnerium may be the densest of all the elements. It is very unstable, and even the … Read more
