Ununununium? Nunnium? Umminummium?
Aug. 6th, 2007 05:39 pmI was looking over the periodic table today, and noticed that they've assigned names to many elements that didn't even exist back when I was taking chemistry. Seaborgium, also called eka-tungsten. Dubnium, or eka-tantalum. Ununoctium, or eka-radon, of which only three atoms ever existed, but they were reportedly delicious.
Ununoctium is actually the reason for this post. Outside of helium, all noble gases end in "-on." Neon, Xenon, etc. So I'm moving to call element 118 "Crayon."
Also, element 117 should be called "Praline."
Thank you for your attention.
