We are an informative site about the new chemical element that will be discovered very soon and that has all the scientists thrill. There is even a SciFi story about the development of element 120. In here you will find everything you need to know about Unbinilium, as for information, news, facts, among others. Although the element has not been discovered, it is already famous and well – know by the chemical community interest in the discovery of these new elements. Its name may change in the future but, for now, everybody knows it as Unbinilium or 120.
Unbinilium, also known as eka-radium, is the 120th element in the periodic table and its temporary symbol is Ubn. Although Unbinilium is widely used in the chemical community from chemistry classrooms to advanced textbooks, scientists who work theoretically or experimentally on superheavy elements usually call it “element 120”, with the symbol (120) or 120. It has not yet been discovered but if it were, it would be the second element in the eighth period of the periodic table and it is possibly a radioactive alkaline earth metal. It may be located near the center of the predicted island of stability.
Such transuranic elements are always artificially produced, and usually, end up being named for a scientist. Roland George Prodaniuk, of Edmonton, Canada, suggests that element 120 is the last element. He named the element Rolandium (Ro), “named after its theorist and originator”.
Its position as the seventh alkaline earth metal proposes that it would have similar properties to calcium, magnesium, beryllium, strontium, barium, and even radium. However, relativistic effects may cause some of its properties to fluctuate from those expected from a straight application of periodic trends. Attempts to date to synthesize the element using fusion reactions at low excitation energy have met with failure, though there are reports that the fission of Unbinilium nuclei at very high excitation has been successfully measured, indicating a strong shell effect at Z=120.
