Where appropriate, and unless otherwise stated, data are given for 100 kPa (1 bar) and 298.15 K (25 °C).

Ununquadium (symbol: Uuq) is a chemical element in group 14 of the periodic table. It has attracted interest because of the possibility that 298Uuq might be at the centre of a (relative) "island of stability" among superheavy nuclides[1] and because the chemical properties of ununquadium might resemble those of the noble gases rather than other group 14 elements.[2]

The preparation of ununquadium was claimed in 1999 by the team of Oganessian et al. at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia:[3] these claims, and later results by the same team,[4][5][6] are under consideration by the IUPAC/IUPAP Joint Working Party on Discovery of Elements (JWP),[7][8] and some have been independently verified by a team from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California.[9]
