Youre full of shit. Edit: http://www.webelements.com/ * Name: ununquadium * Symbol: Uuq * Atomic number: 114 * Atomic weight: [ 289 ] * CAS Registry ID: 54085-16-4 * Group number: 14 * Group name: (none) * Period number: 7 * Block: p-block Description speak description of ununquadium (requires RealPlayer) RealPlayer Here is a brief description of ununquadium. * Standard state: presumably a solid at 298 K * Colour: unknown, but probably metallic and silvery white or grey in appearance * Classification: Metallic * Availability: Not commercially available. Element 114 was reported informally in January 1999 following experiments towards the end of December 1998 involving scientists at Dubna (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research) in Russia apparently using isotopes supplied by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. Only one atom was identified and the claim has not yet been ratified. The results of calculations suggest that element 114 will not form a tetrafluoride UuqF4, but could be isolated as a water-soluble difluoride UuqF2. Isolation Here is a brief summary of the isolation of ununquadium. Currently, the identification of element 114 is yet to be confirmed. As only about three atoms of element 114 has ever been made (through nuclear reaction involving fusing a calcium atom with a plutonium atom) isolation of an observable quantity has never been achieved, and may well never be.

EDIT: Man Made isnt the best term... most of the bottom of the periodic table has to be synthesised because it is not naturally occuring...

In the loosest sense of the word. yes, they are composed of electrons and whatnot, and we really cant make those. But they dont exist naturally. Various research attempts in space has yielded manmade elements at zero gravity. Also, atom smashers have yielded some manmade atoms after sending two elements into each other at sublight speed, and the scattered electrons and neurons bonded together to form new elements. Dunno what theyre teaching you, but theyre wrong.

I think the definition is clearer if you talk of it in terms of naturally occuring, and man created elements.
"man made" elements tend to exist for extremely short periods of time (we're talking milliseconds here) and are created in very extreme conditions (such as those in a nuclear reaction). At least that's my understanding of it. |
