element 113
Definition
- Noun:
- A radioactive transuranic element: "element 113" is a synthetic, highly radioactive chemical element with the atomic number 113. It is a member of the transuranium series, meaning its atomic number is higher than that of uranium (92). It is also known by the systematic name "ununtrium" (symbol Uut) and the permanent name "nihonium" (symbol Nh).
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- Scientists confirmed the discovery of element 113 after a decade of research.
- Element 113, nihonium, is produced in particle accelerators and decays within seconds.
Advanced Usage
- "to synthesize element 113": to create the element artificially in a laboratory.
- The team aimed to synthesize element 113 by bombarding a bismuth target with zinc ions.
Variants and Related Words
- Nihonium (Nh): The permanent name officially assigned to element 113 by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
- Nihonium honors the Japanese researchers who discovered it and the region where it was discovered.
- Ununtrium (Uut): The temporary systematic name and symbol used for element 113 before its permanent naming.
- Ununtrium is derived from the Latin roots for one, one, three, reflecting its atomic number.
Synonyms
- Synthetic element: A chemical element that is not found in nature and must be created artificially.
