Syntho-sis Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I thought this was interesting.... It is called "Ununbium" which is Latin for 112 http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090611/sc_nm/us_germany_element neat stuff
Bone Daddeo Posted June 13, 2009 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.
iNow Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Or How about "Carpedium" -- Seize the new element! Wouldnt' that be CarpeElementumNovus?
Fogo Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Mmm... Can you imagine Briancoxium? I hope I can make my great discovery soon so that I'll be eligible for the naming Who decides the names? Is it the IUPAC?
rktpro Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Who decides the names? Is it the IUPAC? Yes it is. Croadaxium
Fogo Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Wouldnt' that be CarpeElementumNovus? *COUGH! Tea sprays forth comically from mouth* CarpeElementumNovum, I should hope! Sigh... Next we'll be having "ad domum"...

Some things don't exist because they shouldn't exist.

Well, you never know. We thought antimatter didn't occur naturally, until somebody found it naturally occuring above a thunderstorm or something.
