Periodic Table Adds Four New Elements – IOTW Report

Periodic Table Adds Four New Elements

The seventh row of the periodic table has finally been filled out with the acceptance of four new unstable elements:

ununtrium (Uut, atomic number 113) , ununpentium (Uup atomic number 115), ununseptium (Uus, atomic number 117), ununoctium (Uuo,atomic number 118 ).

All the new elements were derived between 2003 to 2008, but it took more years to confirm the findings.

Now someone needs to find an element with no atomic weight that can be named in honor of Obama; I’d call it Unicornium.

  1. 113 was created in Japan, so: Nipium.

    115 was the work of Russians, so: Putinium if they know what’s good for ’em.

    117 came from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, so: Yallium. Alternate choice: Jackdanielsium

    118 was created in both the USA and Russia, so they gotta share. That seems like a sh!tty deal to me, so: Crapon (the -on suffix because it is in the noble element column)

  2. Plutonium was probably natural at one point but since it’s 1/2 life is about 500k years it quickly(geologic time) decays into something else Uranium’s 1/2 life is 4 billion which explains the huge amount of lead and the pile that heats the core of the planet.

  3. Of course Van Halium remains the lightest of the heavy metals, and Twisted Sistrium retains the shortest half life.
    Journium is still the only light metal able to have Chick-Magnetious properties, while Wingerite continues to degrade into a base metal like Nicklebackium, whose only value is as ship ballast or inert fill material

  4. “Although they were first discovered between 2003 to 2008, it took some years to verify and reproduce the results.”

    that’s how science works.

    notice they didn’t get a consensus of scientists to prove the validity of their science.
    they released their work and let others verify it by replicating it.

    something the global warming nuts have never done and will never do.
