Moscovium is in recognition of the Moscow region and honors the ancient Russian land that is the home of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, where the discovery experiments were conducted using the Dubna Gas-Filled Recoil Separator in combination with the heavy ion accelerator capabilities of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions. These are in line with tradition honoring a place or geographical region and are proposed jointly by the discoverers at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna (Russia), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA), Vanderbilt University (USA) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (USA). The team also hopes that pride and faith in science will displace the lost trust of those who suffered from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.įor the element with atomic number 115 the name proposed is moscovium with the symbol Mc and for element with atomic number 117, the name proposed is tennessine with the symbol Ts. While presenting this proposal, the team headed by Professor Kosuke Morita pays homage to the trailblazing work by Masataka Ogawa done in 1908 surrounding the discovery of element 43. Element 113 is the first element to have been discovered in an Asian country. The name is proposed to make a direct connection to the nation where the element was discovered. Nihon is one of the two ways to say “Japan” in Japanese, and literally mean “the Land of Rising Sun”. Finally, the names for new chemical elements in English should allow proper translation into other major languages.įor the element with atomic number 113 the discoverers at RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science (Japan) proposed the name nihonium and the symbol Nh. This would be in general “-ium” for elements belonging to groups 1-16, “-ine” for elements of group 17 and “-on” for elements of group 18. The names of all new elements in general would have an ending that reflects and maintains historical and chemical consistency. (a) a mythological concept or character (including an astronomical object), Keeping with tradition, newly discovered elements can be named after: The guidelines for the naming the elements were recently revised and shared with the discoverers to assist in their proposals. A five-month public review is now set, expiring 8 November 2016, prior to the formal approval by the IUPAC Council. The IUPAC Inorganic Chemistry Division has reviewed and considered these proposals and recommends these for acceptance.
