I’m not sure we will be seeing ‘honest to goodness’ chemical compounds in the foreseeable future although the nuclear chemists working in Dubna, Berkeley and Darmstadt will have some fun trying.</p> <p>Is the symbol for flevorium really legit’ given that Rolla and Fernandez used it for what they thought was element 61 back in 1924. According to IUPAC discarded symbols cannot be used again. That’s why Cp, the initial choice for copernicium (112) was discarded in favor of Cn. Cp had been used for the discarded cassiopeum.</p> <p>For more resources on elements and the periodic table please visit my website at, ericscerri.com/</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://nuclearstreet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=23160&AppID=34&AppType=1&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"></description></item></channel></rss>
