The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) decided last Thursday, December 1, to allow chemical elements 114 and 116 to be named livermorium and flerovrium. The decision was made after the proposal was discussed in forum for 5 months. It wasn't until this June that the elements were even all... |

The study of chemical elements can be a pleasant activity, especially when the teacher is fun to work with. Chemistry 101 is the software that can guide you through the basics and explain everything along the way.
Whether it is a school task or a simple curiosity, getting acquainted with the periodic table of the ... |

Dmitri Mendeleev's Periodic Table of Chemical Elements has just been augmented with two new entries – elements 114 and 116. An international commission of scientists, comprised mostly of physicists and chemists, agreed to include the ultra-heavy chemicals in the Table.Copernicium and roentgenium, at 285 an... |

Physicists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), working together with Russian colleagues from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, were able until now to discover five of the heaviest chemicals known to man, elements 113, 114, 115, 116 and 118... |

Uranium is the heaviest element that Mother Nature has to offer. At 92 protons, it is fairly massive and large, and its possible applications are no longer a secret to anyone. But physicists, and scientists in general, have never been satisfied with what nature has to offer, and have always tried to get more. Over th... |

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has officially recognized the name of the heaviest chemical in the world, until now named Element 112. The substance was called thus because it features 112 protons in its nucleus. This makes it about 277 times heavier than hydrogen, and the heaviest atom ... |

All industrialized countries in the world, without any exceptions, have a very strong chemical industry, which uses many substances for a variety of reactions. Catalysts are among the most widely used, and some reactions need specific chemicals to make them work. Some of these chemicals may be gold or platinum, which... |

A team of German scientists can now boast an accomplishment not many scientists can, namely the fact that they have been credited with the discovery of a new chemical element, which will be added to Mendeleev's periodic table of elements under number 112. At this point, no name has yet been decided for the stuff... |

Super atoms are bundles of several tens of individual atoms in a vapor state that have a collective chemical behavior similar to that of a single atom of the same element used to create the super atom. Super atoms have been proven to exist for the first time back in 2005 when a team of researchers created a super ato... |

The heavy elements occupy an area of the periodic table where other elements cannot be, and decay in fractions of seconds - an island in the sea, as nuclear physicists like to call it. This caused scientists to believe that other such islands, 'island of stability', may exist well beyond some of the superhe... |
