Evanescence Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Ununpentium is a radioactive and artificially-produced element. It's name is temporary, and it means simply one-one-five. Ununpentium is pronounced as oon-oon-PENT-i-em. It's phase at room temperature is expected to be solid. Density: unknown. Boiling point: unknown. Melting point: unknown. Atomic weight and number: 288/115

Evanescence Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 LOL never thought of that until you mentioned it! Pentium OonOon - sounds French to me!
greenseed Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 Sounds pretty dumb to me. I think they should call it anti-gravity-um. I have done a fair amount of research on this element and it's Berkley creators. It seems they stumbled on it accidentally in 1998, trying to create ununoctium, or element 118. It's half life of .01 nanoseconds took it through 115 , 113, 111, 107, 105. But for a moment they had created somthing special. It was never confermed. In February 2004, it was done again, soley for 115, and 113. It was a succes, and it was said a possibility that it could be a stable solid.
Evanescence Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 I dont know about you, but I think creating elements that exist for merely miliseconds is a bit dumb and a waste of time. Any thoughts? Of course, the periodic table will probably never be complete but why bother? They've even taken note of elements that decay into others. Huh? lol. Pointless, even though I'm a big fan of discoveries - especially elements. Let us know what you think guys.
Evanescence Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 Oh, and baring in mind 'ununpentium' is only a temorary name until someone invents a nice new name for element 115. (probably really stupid like idiscoveredthisium! )
