  • i have to do a project on this element, but i need a slogan for it, do u think that u can help me with a good slogan for roentgenium?

  • Why not quote The Professor and make this your slogan...

    "Roentgenium - Almost Unpronounceable"

  • I want to bring to your attention that in the German speaking world, X-rays are called "Röntgenstrahlen", "Röntgen-rays".

  • is it possible that after somewhile in the periodic table there will be an element so heavy that it collapses into a black hole,

    element # 3455

    Blackholium

    Description: an element so damn heavy it collapses into a black hole

  • @frogeyedpeas

    it wont have enough mass

  • @frogeyedpeas No, there actually cannot be any elements after 147 (or is 137?), the problem arises with the strong nuclear force. This force is very strong but also has a very short reach. I don't know the math off the top of my head but basically what happens is that there are so many protons and neutrons in the nucleus that the strong nuclear force cannot reach all the way across the nucleus making it too unstable to stay together. It would immediately decay into smaller elements.

  • I liked unununium better =P Though it was never there to stay anyway.

  • You pronunciation of Röntgen is actually pretty spot on. (Native german speaker here)

  • one of the unamed elements should be named after the Professor

  • Is it weird that when he said "we can see things people have swollowed that they shouldn't have" I immediately thought of semen? :S

  • Wait, if it's german, and there's an oe, then wouldn't it be "Rerntgenium".

  • row-en-teg-inium

  • Keep vigilant for cornholium as well.

  • Actually to create a black hole you also need to decrease the volume

    The atom would be far to big and disperse
