Muscovy joined the periodic table, and three new elements – News portal of Naberezhnye Chelny

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) brings to the public discussion of the names of four new elements of the periodic table, one of which is proposed to be called Muscovy (moscovium) symbol Mc, reports 116chelny.ru. “Muscovy name pays tribute to the Moscow region, it was given in honor of the ancient Russian lands, where the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, where the Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions. Flerov conducted which led to the discovery experiments with the Dubna gas-filled recoil separator combined with the potential accelerator of heavy ions “, – states the report

Priority openly admitted:. Element number 113 – for Japanese Riken Institute, 115, 117 and 118 – for OIYAN in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore national laboratory and Oak Ridge national laboratory (USA). There is also another name of the chemical element – Japan. Their names have already been approved by the leadership of the IUPAC, but the elements are not officially called now, but only in November 2016, after the publication in the journal Pure and Applied Chemistry. This event took place in January this year. Separately, it should be noted that all these elements have been synthesized artificially.

Typically, in nature there are elements with an atomic number less than 92. A atoms, the number of protons in which more than 93 but less than a hundred, one can obtain . reactors

Periodic Table and has another scientific name – Periodic table of chemical elements. But then it was just the initial version of the periodic table, which established the dependence of the properties of elements from their atomic weight, or, as they say now, the atomic mass.
