The Periodic Table

I was wondering that - looks like it was only formally named in 2015 when it was actually detected (4 atoms existed for 100 milliseconds!). If the chart is older than that, it probably had a different name originally.

Think you have nailed it.

Would explain why the number is in grey rather than black text.

The element had previously been designated ununpentium, a placeholder name that means one-one-five in Latin. In November 2016, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) approved the name moscovium for element 115.

Manchester City improving periodic tables since 2016.

In other words, a forced, synthetic element that’s totally made up. ‘115’ seems like the perfect number.
