Examples
Advanced Usage
- In systematic nomenclature: Before an element receives a permanent name, it is referred to by a systematic name based on its atomic number. "Atomic number 107" served as this temporary name.
- In research literature: The term appears in papers discussing the synthesis, decay properties, or theoretical predictions of superheavy elements.
Variants and Related Words
- Bohrium (Bh): The permanent name for the element with atomic number 107.
- Transuranic element: Any chemical element with an atomic number greater than 92 (uranium). Atomic number 107 is one such element.
