The definition by the IUPAC/IUPAP Joint Working Party (JWP) states that a chemical element can only be recognized as discovered if a nucleus of it has not decayed within 10 −14 seconds. This value was chosen as an estimate of how long it takes a nucleus to acquire electrons and thus display its chemical properties. [21] [d]
moscovium, Mc, named after Moscow Oblast, where the element was discovered (2004). 116. livermorium, Lv, named after Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a collaborator with JINR in the discovery (2000). 117. tennessine, Ts, after Tennessee, where the berkelium target needed for the synthesis of the element was manufactured (2010). 118.
ORNL actinides from HFIR (in parentheses) were involved in these superheavy element discoveries: flerovium-114 in 2000 (americium-243); moscovium-115 (americium-243), which was observed in 2004 ...
Moscovium (115 Mc) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no known stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 288 Mc in 2004. There are five known radioisotopes from 286 Mc to 290 Mc. The longest-lived isotope is 290 Mc with a half-life of 0.65 seconds.
A synthetic element is one of 24 known chemical elements that do not occur naturally on Earth: they have been created by human manipulation of fundamental particles in a nuclear reactor, a particle accelerator, or the explosion of an atomic bomb; thus, they are called "synthetic", "artificial", or "man-made".
