The Periodic Table

[Mr Kobayashi]

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.

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

Found this in one of our lecture halls yesterday. Seems even the chemists are having a go at us!
