elihushaw Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I was reading National Geographic's article on the creation of element 118 (found here). A few questions came up.How do they choose which elements to apply to each other? Besides the number of protons, what factors would help decide which elements to use?As an example, and to further those questions. Why use calcium-48 and californium-249 to try and create Element 118? (besides the proton count. So why those ions?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
