atomic number 108
Definition
- Noun:
- A radioactive transuranic element: "atomic number 108" is the systematic name for a synthetic, highly unstable chemical element with 108 protons in its atomic nucleus. It is a man-made element not found in nature.
Usage
- The term "atomic number 108" is used primarily in scientific contexts, such as chemistry and nuclear physics, to refer to the element with proton number 108. Its permanent name is hassium (symbol Hs).
Examples of Usage
- Noun:
- The discovery of atomic number 108 was confirmed by a German research team.
- Scientists are studying the decay properties of atomic number 108.
Advanced Usage
- Systematic element name: Before an element receives a permanent name, it is referred to by its systematic element name, which is based on its atomic number. "Atomic number 108" is an example of this nomenclature.
- Until its naming, the element was known solely as atomic number 108.
Variants and Related Words
- Hassium (Hs): The permanent name for the element with atomic number 108.
- Hassium, formerly known as atomic number 108, is part of the transactinide series.
- Transuranic element: Any chemical element with an atomic number greater than 92 (uranium). Atomic number 108 belongs to this group.
- Like other transuranic elements, atomic number 108 is artificially produced.
Synonyms
- Element 108: A direct synonym.
- Hs: The chemical symbol for hassium, synonymous once the name is established.
Related Phrases
