A Russian team announce they've created six atoms of Ununseptium, filling the last remaining gap in our current periodic table of elements. More chemistry at http://www.periodicvideos.com/

    MasterCheifium

    72,000 protons & 1 neutron.

    Hell yeah.

  • @XxWearsMexX

    cause the heavier the element, the harder it is to make. and since 117 was a gap, they decided to try and make it, which meant getting elements with atomics numbers that add up to 117. i'm sure in the future there will be people trying to make even heavier elements, it's just those will be even harder.

  • Atoms with odd number are a lot less stable than even right? Shouldn't they have tried 116 or 118 first, or did they already create those?

  • I vote Masterchiefium too :) plus there's loads of other Halo references too, group 7!!, in the HALOgens!!!!!

  • @WowOmgStudios This would probably cause quantum dripping and wouldn't be physically possible.

  • Was that Lenny as the wallpaper?

  • unubtainium

    

  • @Ashtree81 If it's stable, then it can't power anything and is no use to anyone.

    On an interesting note, atoms with an even number of protons are more stable and easy to create than those with odd numbers. So, Unbinilium (Element 120) is predicted to be easier to make than Ununennium (Element 119). For the same reasons that Uuo was discovered before Uus.

  • Rumor has it there is a stable 117 isotope used to power flying saucers..

  • love how he takes time to explain. very nice, such videos make me happy.

  • @WeaselWJ 117 is the tag for John-117 also known as the Master Chief, the protagonist from the Halo series of video games, novels and various other media.

  • Not found naturally anywhere in the universe really.
