atomic number 114
Noun: 1. A radioactive transuranic element: A synthetic, highly unstable chemical element with the atomic number 114. It is a superheavy element in the p-block of the periodic table, placed in group 14. Its most stable known isotope has a half-life of approximately 2.6 seconds.
The term "atomic number 114" is used primarily in scientific contexts, specifically in chemistry and physics, to denote the element with 114 protons in its nucleus. It is often discussed in relation to nuclear research, the synthesis of superheavy elements, and the "island of stability" theory. * The search for atomic number 114 is a major goal in modern nuclear physics. * Scientists confirmed the discovery of atomic number 114 through a series of complex experiments.
- In systematic nomenclature: According to IUPAC recommendations, before an element receives a permanent name, it may be referred to by a systematic name based on its atomic number. For element 114, this was (symbol Uuq).
- In the periodic table: The element is positioned in group 14, below lead, and is expected to have some metallic properties, potentially being a post-transition metal.
- Flerovium (Fl): The permanent name officially assigned to the element with atomic number 114 in 2012, named after the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions in Dubna, Russia.
- Ununquadium (Uuq): The former temporary systematic IUPAC name for the element.
- Superheavy element: A category of elements with atomic numbers greater than 103, which includes atomic number 114.
- Transuranium element: Any element with an atomic number greater than 92 (uranium).

- Flerovium (the permanent name)
- Ununquadium (the former systematic name)
- Synthesis of atomic number 114: Refers to the process of creating the element in a particle accelerator, typically by fusing nuclei of lighter elements.
- The synthesis of atomic number 114 was achieved by bombarding plutonium-244 with calcium-48 ions.
- Isotopes of atomic number 114: Refers to the different forms of the element with the same number of protons but varying numbers of neutrons.
- Several isotopes of atomic number 114 have been identified, with flerovium-289 being the most stable.
- a radioactive transuranic element
