Nihonium(ニホニウム) is achemical element.It is also namedeka-thallium.It has the symbolNh.It has theatomic number113. It is atransuranium element.The name "nihonium" comes from the name ofJapaninJapanese,Nhật bổn (nihon).

Nihonium does not exist in nature, and can only be madeartificially.It is made from thealpha decayofmoscovium.

There are no known uses for nihonium. What nihonium looks like is not known because not enough has been made to see it with human eyesight. Based on trends in thePeriodic Tableit could be soft, silver color, veryreactivemetal likesodium.

History

On February 1, 2004, Nihonium andmoscoviumwerediscovered.A team ofRussian scientistsatDubnafrom theJoint Institute for Nuclear ResearchandAmericanscientists at theLawrence Livermore National Laboratoryfirstreportedthe chemical elements.

On September 28, 2004, a team ofJapanesescientists said that they had made the element.^[11]^,^[12]^,^[13]

In May 2006, in theJoint Institute for Nuclear Researchmade nihonium using a different method. They found theidentityof the last products of the radioactive decay of the nihonium they made.

Name

Ununtrium was a temporaryIUPAC systematic element namemeaning "one-one-three" in Latin. Scientists from Japan suggested the namejaponium(symbolJp) orrikenium(Rk).^[14]However, they picked Nihonium because not only is it discovered in Japan, but it means Japan, too, as Nihon is Japan or Japanese in Japanese.
