Massive breakthrough in chemistry may lead to creating the coveted element 120.
After its 150 anniversary, the famous chemical table might be getting a makeover.
In January, four new elements were introduced to the periodic table, but they didn't have a name. Now, they will be officially added to the periodic table, with proper names.
In a study published in the January 19, 2016 issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), scientists at Tsinghua University in China confirmed that something very unusual is happening inside extremely heavy atoms, causing them to deviate from their expect chemical behavior predicted by their place on the Periodic Table of Elements.
An altered periodic table that shows how each elements was forged.
Were you one of those students who used to complain about all those chemical elements you had to study at school? Well, I guess this particular piece of news will not exactly make you celebrate. It seems that chemistry has yet a lot more to offer as the element 112 has just been recognised by […]
