The name of element 117 recognizes the contribution to super heavy element research by the state of Tennessee. Like nihonium, its name ends in -ium, indicating that it belongs to groups 1–16. The name of element 115 recognizes the Moscow region, home of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). This name is the first element in the history of the periodic table to be discovered in an Asian country. The new elements are as follows:Įlement 113 was discovered in Japan. There are no temporary names on the table or elements waiting to be verified. For the first time, all the elements have concrete names. On November 28, 2016, the IUPAC formalized the names of the 4 newest chemical elements after a 5-month review. The new name and symbol should be recognizable when translated and used in any language. The -ium, -ine, and -on endings reflect the element’s location on the periodic table. A mythological concept or character (including an astronomical object).Traditionally, new elements are named after a place, geographical region, or scientist. Shortly after the review, the IUPAC announces the formal name and symbol of the new element. During this time, anyone may send suggested names, comments, and objections. Once all parties agree on a proposed name and symbol, there is a mandatory 5-month public review. For example, element 113 first appeared on the periodic table as ununtrium (Uut). Until the final name is approved, the element receives a temporary name and symbol. The IUPAC invites the discovering laboratory to submit its proposal for a name and symbol. After the element’s existence has been properly verified, only the IUPAC works to select a suitable name. Before this happens, the IUPAC and IUPAP work together using established criteria to confirm the discovery of the element and establish a claim (ownership). The laboratory that discovers the element has the right to propose the formal name and symbol. Members from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) join forces for part of the naming process. If you are thinking that there is no way 1 person could have possibly named all the elements, then you are correct. Could it be that your name is a special combination of your parents’ names? Have you ever wondered how each of the 118 elements of the periodic table got their names? Maybe you were named for a family member such as a sibling or grandparent.
