Ununquadium (symbol: Uuq) is a purported 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]

Preparation

Early claims

The original claims from Dubna were for 24294Pu(4820Ca,3n)287114Uuq and 24494Pu(4820Ca,3n)289114Uuq, with one observed decay chain from each reaction.[3]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. ↑ The electronic configuration is predicted on the basis of periodic trends.
