Chemical element with atomic number 115 (Mc) Moscovium, 115 Mc Moscovium Pronunciation / m ɒ ˈ s k oʊ v i ə m / (mos- SKOH -vee-əm) Mass number (data not ...
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.
In 1914, German physicist Richard Swinne proposed that elements heavier than uranium, such as those around Z = 108, could be found in cosmic rays. He suggested that these elements may not necessarily have decreasing half-lives with increasing atomic number, leading to speculation about the possibility of some longer-lived elements at Z = 98 ...
Einsteinium and fermium were discovered by a team of scientists led by Albert Ghiorso in 1952 while studying the composition of radioactive debris from the detonation of the first hydrogen bomb. [19] The isotopes synthesized were einsteinium-253, with a half-life of 20.5 days, and fermium-255 , with a half-life of about 20 hours.
Eventually, a deal was made, and Russia and the U.S. alternately got credit for and proposed a name for each element they discovered together or independently. So, element 105 was named dubnium ...

Rhodium was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, [7] soon after he discovered palladium. [8] [9] [10] He used crude platinum ore presumably obtained from South America. [11] His procedure dissolved the ore in aqua regia and neutralized the acid with sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
The produced isotopes of ununennium are expected to undergo two alpha decays to known isotopes of moscovium (288 Mc and 287 Mc respectively), [8] which would anchor them to a known sequence of five further alpha decays and corroborate their production.
