Shadow Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Why did they stop giving elements reasonable names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Daddeo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Why did they stop giving elements reasonable names? Hi Shadow Ununbium is only a place holder until an officially sanctioned name can be agreed upon. This is a process that historically has been rather contentious. Looking at the trend in naming the previous "6d" elements, it'll likely be named after a rock star status scientist. Bonedaddium does have a nice ring to it.
