The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry announced the recommended names for the 113th, 115th, 117th and 118th of the periodic table of elements. This was reported on the website of the Union

So, the 113th element will be called Nippon, 115th -. Muscovy (in honor of the Moscow region), 117th – tennessinom, 118th – oganessonom (after Russian scientist Yuri Oganesyan).

Earlier it was reported that Russian scientists were recognized as pioneers of the three new chemical elements -. 115 th, 117 th and 118 th. The 113th element and was first registered in the JINR in 2003, 48-calcium reaction with americium-243. Time element of life was about one second. In 2004, Japanese scientists from the institute Riken have carried out the first experiment on the irradiation target of bismuth-209 with accelerated ions of zinc-70, with the result that was also registered an isotope of the 113th element, which lasted a few milliseconds. Its discoverers Japanese scientists have been recognized

In just the past 50 years Periodic table enriched with 17 new members, of which at JINR synthesized nine, including the last 10 years -. Five most severe (superheavy) elements, NO Periodic table.
