Unbinilium, also known as eka-radium or element 120, is a hypothetical chemical element; it has symbol Ubn and atomic number 120. Unbinilium and Ubn are the temporary systematic IUPAC name and symbol , which are used until the element is discovered, confirmed, and a permanent name is decided upon.
120 Ubn * → no atoms. Neither element 119 nor element 120 was observed. This implied a limiting cross section of 65 fb for producing element 119 in these reactions, and 200 fb for element 120. [22] In May 2021, the JINR announced plans to investigate the 249 Cf+ 50 Ti reaction in their new facility. [23]
The next two elements, elements 119 and 120, should form an 8s series and be an alkali and alkaline earth metal, respectively. Beyond element 120, the superactinide series is expected to begin, when the 8s electrons and the filling of the 8p 1/2, 7d 3/2, 6f, and 5g subshells determine the
Scientists discovered a method to create element 116 using a titanium beam, paving the way for future synthesis of element 120, the "holy grail" of chemistry.
Unbiunium has not yet been synthesized. It is expected to be one of the last few reachable elements with current technology; the limit could be anywhere between element 120 and 124. It will also likely be far more difficult to synthesize than the elements known so far up to 118, and still more difficult than elements 119 and 120.
A summary of observed decay chains in even-Z superheavy elements, including tentative assignments in chains 3, 5, and 8. [44] According to another analysis, chain 3 (starting at element 120) is not a real decay chain, but is rather a random sequence of events. [64]
120 Ubn * → no atoms. Neither element 119 nor element 120 was observed. This implied a limiting cross-section of 65 fb for producing element 119 in these reactions, and 200 fb for element 120. [21] [10] The predicted actual cross section for producing element 119 in this reaction is around 40 fb, which is at the limits of current technology. [20]
