Scientists have created much bigger elements than plutonium, though. Oganesson (Og) is the heaviest element every synthesized, with 118 protons and 176 neutrons (atomic mass 294). It was ...

Livermorium was first synthesized back in 2000, and it's not the heaviest element humans have created (that would be oganesson, atomic number 118). So what's the big deal if a couple atoms of ...

You're listening to Chemistry in its element brought to you by Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry. We live in an age when everyone is just gagging to be 'famous'. Andy ...

The periodic table is a well-organized chart that contains all the known elements in the universe. These elements are ...

Oganesson, Og, was discovered in 2002. It is placed below radon in group 0. Assuming that it is a gas at room temperature, predict its density and explain your answer.

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

Livermorium was first synthesized back in 2000, and it's not the heaviest element humans have created (that would be oganesson, atomic number 118). So what's the big deal if a couple atoms of ...

Calcium-48 has 20 protons, which doesn't get you to 120 (it would create an element called oganesson). They needed something with 22 protons, hence the work with titanium-50. It can take trillions ...
