A new element of the periodic table have suggested be named after suburbs – RBC

Two new element of the periodic table will be called in honor of Moscow and the Russian physicist Yuri Hovhannisyan. This is stated in a message on the website of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Prior to the approval of the Board of IUPAC names in the panel discussion will be held for five months

element with atomic number 115 will be called “Moscow” (symbol – Mc).. He proposed to open an element scientists of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, which is located in Dubna near Moscow

In honor Hovhannisyan called element with atomic number 118 -. “Oganessy” (denoted by Og). Hovhannisyan was the co-discoverer of the heavy elements of the periodic table, such as Rutherford, Dubna and Boriy. Scientists first synthesized atoms with Z equal decay properties which prove the existence of “islands of stability” of superheavy elements in the

Also, get the names of two new elements -. With atomic numbers 113 and 117. They are called “Nihon” – after Japan, where the substance was first obtained, and “tennessin” – in honor of Tennessee, where the United States Department of energy national Laboratories Oak Ridge

On the inclusion of four new chemical elements in the periodic table has learned. 4 January. The honor of opening the 115 th, 117 th and 118 th elements in the IUPAC awarded to the team of Russian and American researchers from the Institute in Dubna and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Discoverer of the 113th element recognized by Japanese scientists from the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research Riken.

The expansion of the periodic table was the first time since 2011, when the 114 th and 116 th elements have been added.

The periodization of chemical elements according to their atomic weight has been developed by Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869.
