UC Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Unobtainium! Well clearly they can't name it that, as they did in fact obtain it. I humbly propose sfnium. It would be funny to watch people try to pronounce it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 lookwhathappenswhenidothisium either that or Frank. that would make for some interesting chemical names. and confuse chemistry students called frank. its win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 How about "Yerdeadium" since if enough were produced for you to physically see it with your own two eyes, the radioactivity would make you dead pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UC Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 either that or Frank. You sir, have my undying support in this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 about about quetzelcoatlium? then we could have a chemical symbol with a Q in it, which would be useful in making words out of elemental symbols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proton Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I like these suggestions from Professor Poliakoff... Any thoughts? What new element? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBruce Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 What new element? The element Ununbium, atomic number 112, was synthesised at a lab in Germany and IUPAC recently recognized the discovery and asked the discovery team to propose a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 of course, it's widely accepted that all the elements up to 118 (except 117) have been discovered. It's just that IUPAC is a bit slow on recognising these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xittenn Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Copernicium for those of us who didn't hear! http://chemistry.about.com/b/2009/07/19/element-112-is-named-copernicium.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theophrastus Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Copernicium for those of us who didn't hear! Aw damn, she beat me to it . I'm annoyed, personally. I don't really see what relevance copernicus has with chemistry. I was rooting for Paulinium, after Linus Pauling, though they might confuse the namesake, with Pauli- that could get rather screwy. How about nYdoaPsium. (not-your-dad-on-a-pogo-stick). (sorry, I couldn't resist ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
