You didn't mention that 115 is in the middle of the island of stability! We still haven't been able to make the desired isotope but it is theorized that 115 could be a relatively long-lived element once we can produce 291 Mc.
+Malachi Corrao It's still an I, except on old tables before international standards were set up. Standards not even the Germans would mess with. You don't mess with IUPAC!
Would be interesting to see a video on why they choose to specific combinations of atoms to collide. Why do they use Americium and Calcium to create Nihonium (93 + 20 = 113), as opposed to, say, Europium and Tin (63 + 50 = 113) or some other combination that has the right number of protons? What are the factors that come into that decision?
Beam - target fusion works better with a heavier element target for capture, and the lighter element beam is easier to accelerate. Also, the long half life Ca-48 isotope has a good neutron to proton ratio, as the super heavy synthetic elements always end up with alpha decay due to being neutron deficient
Because the electric repulsion is proportional to the multiplication of atomic numbers of the two elements, the beam and the target. If you choose 50 and 63, its relative repulsion is gonna be 50×63=3150. But for the 20 and 93 case, it'll only be 20×93=1860.
@@erua1707 Also the ability to create a beam of nuclei becomes more difficult as the atomic weight goes up. At this point in time, Calcium 40 is about the heaviest isotope we are capable of accelerating to the required energy.

Does it manage to pick up electrons from the environment and actually become an atom before it decays? And in that case, what about relativistic effects?

Bob was referring to the stabilized version of this, there’s a way to stabilize it so that it can “create gravity”. But no one has been able to figure this out except alien crafts.
Flap Drol ask it random people on the street. i bet only a few know that the last elements on the list are this unstable. even although there are plenty of people that know it, it is not comment knowledge and it is not important enough to be so. also, a reacted to a person that seemed to not know this so told him (or he was trolling but o well) en ja, dat mensen dit niet weten is ook het geval in nederland.
Moscovium? Awww man, I was hoping it would be called Elerium. I mean, if we can name a protein Sonic the Hedgehog and its inhibitor Robotnikinin we could have at least called 115 Elerium.
They went with the trend of the elements in the same column. Above Tennessine is AstatINE, IodINE, BromINE, ChlorINE, and FluorINE. Likewise, above Organesson is RadON, XenON, KryptON, ArgON, and NeON.
I found an old chemistry text book in the hutch and it had homework notebook paper in it from the 60's, I have no clue how this book ended up in the family book shelf but it's really cool, I love old book smell.
I always wondered, what real application of a new atom (new element) if it's so unstable that it decays. You can't even use it for anything, right ? Or is it just a game of discovering what nature is capable of sustaining ?
Hank didn't mention Livermorium because it has been accepted for over four years, and these elements have been accepted for less than two weeks. The elements with even atomic numbers are easier to create, so it got done sooner.
Personally wouldn't it better to have two separate periodic tables that first show DISCOVERED elements then having a secondary periodic table of 'elements' showing INVENTED elements?
The periodic table exists (and is useful) because it sorts atomic elements by a single property (atomic number) and allows us to then visualize how that one property produces trends in all the other properties (like electron shell structure, reactivity, phase at STP etc.) . Leaving gaps in the table simply because some elements are synthetic and some are naturally occurring might be of interest to an historian, but to someone who actually wanted to USE the table, it would just be confusing. It would be like drawing a map of the night sky, but omitting the stars that were named before the invention of the telescope. Interesting historically, but just annoying to people who wanted to learn about the stars. Besides, most periodic tables already DO indicate which elements are synthetic by indicating which elements are unstable. The unstable elements are the ones that don't exist in nature, and had to be synthesized to be discovered.
What purpose does that serve, though? They are still elements, and are important to the overall knowledge of physics and chemistry and science in general. I see no reason to separate elements that are usually stable from elements that are usually unstable.
no. because they might be stable somewhere in the universe we inhabit. heck, we've only drilled a few miles into earth. near earths core there could be all sorts of things going on and other elements we have no idea about.
We’ve known it could exist even longer than that.... and if you’re going to name it after Lazar Fraudium would be a better name. Since that’s what Bob Lazar is.
just because we dont use them now doesnt mean we wont use them ever, newton discovered calculus as a way to predict the movements of planets and other celestial bodies,and they didnt know that in the future,man would use them to actually go to those planets
+Zeus Omega While noble, you have a misunderstanding of what science is about. It's not about being useful, it's about learning more about our universe. These elements are and always will be too unstable to ever use for anything, ever. And scientists don't have a problem with that. Discovery for the sake of discovery is reason enough.
+Anthony Khodanian Thank you! And i know, mr.hawking said it best: "Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest.And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in" :D
Zeus Omega Yes, well there is a much deeper desire to research stuff for future mars missions than to create an unstable element for a few seconds at enormous cost.
Element 115 was what Bob Lazar disclosed as the fuel used by an alien ship he was working on reverse engineering. So element 115 has got to be named Lazarium
Names: 119: Edisonium, named after Thomas Edison. 120: Unobtaniun, named after how it is almost “Unobtainable”. 121: Writium, Named after the Write (Sorry for spelling) Brothers, flying the first “plane” because 121 is a restaurant in a Airport.
If someone was able to make an element so large/heavy that it collapsed on itself, would that element then just be called "the black hole element"? This of course would probably be element #1,250 or something.
No. Think about what a neutron star is. It is the densest natural object in the known universe that is still matter. And still several orders of magnitude more massive than our sun. But with enough extra mass added, yes it would collapse in on itself. But no, an atom cannot be created that would collapse under its own weight.
Neutrons are very light, lighter than the lightest element. So they would easily hold together. Also, the protons and electrons are not striped away, they are combined into neutrons.
The funny thing is someone who used to work at area 51 (Bob Lazar) said that they had UFO's and shit, and they were taking apart the UFO and the element that seemed to be powering the craft were 115 then called Ununpentium as it's temporary name. This was in 1989 or some year around there.
No, if you could take the energy produced by the half life of those elements, it would produce a lot of energy, which could be used with elements that are also radioactivly unstable like uranium
Not really. The instability of the heavier nuclei are due to the limitations of the gluons holding them together. I mean, technically a neutron star can be considered as just a single arbitrarily large atom but it's held together by gravity, not the strong force. So unless your particle collider can smash extrasolar masses together you're not going to get a singularity...
I have been talking about element 120 for 2 years and in a couple of years i wil be right. After the discovery of element 120 i wil be talking about element 121 and i wil also be right. Whats your point ?
@@rayoperator2699 you English good, comrade! I was almost able to discern what you're talking about. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm done having an argument with an idiot on TH-cam.
Not really. The reason it is called the strong force, is that it is about 100 times stronger than electromagnetism, and its counterpart the weak force is about 100 times weaker than electromagnetism.
People who think Element 115 is related to Zombies makes me want to kill myself. "It's time to stop. It's time to stop okay." Francis of The Filth/Filthy Frank.
Have you ever even played Zombies? Literally in that universe element 115 is the thread of the universe, and is the epicentre of the entire shockwave of the zombies saga....
Only a few atoms made of these elements and they are allowed to be put in the periodic table , they have no idea what these elements characteristics are or even how they look like
You could make the same point about a lot of rare or unstable elements, they're basically never used even by chemists, but nobody's demanding we abolish astatine.
they are elements that exist only in certain circumstances... right now, most likely, none of those synthetic elemennts exist. You wouldnt be able to find them anywhere on Earth or maybe even anywhere in the universe... but because it existed for less than a second, lets add 20 more rows to the periodic table. Scientists dont know what the use of those elements are and most likely kids in school are not going to learn anything about them at all, just that they exist, and because of that, they have to change school books. great. (y)
It's increasingly harder for us to create more stable super heavy elements because we're running low on neutrons. The more protons there are, the more neutrons the nucleus needs in order to obtain some stability. Since the lighter isotopes we use to collide don't provide all that many neutrons for the super heavy elements, we'd need to find a way to get lone electrons or even entire nuclei made up of only neutrons and collide them, too.
some believe there might be super heavy "elements" that might again be stable and could have properties never seen before.. however if we learned anything from them is that the heavier they get the quicker they fall appart.. i mean they last basically a fraction of a second at best.. but the research isn't just for naught.. it might also give us insight on what might be created, however only really short in supernovae explosions.. and maybe just maybe there is also isotopes of those heavy elements that are maybe not totally stable forever but living long enough to be used somehow.. but without creating them and researching we wouldn't ever find out.. and well sometimes research for the sake of it is enough :)
Plus they lead into other quirky incidentals, isotopes decay into other odd isotopes so even the products they become would probably be odd, plus all the interesting stuff you find along the way by accident. I wonder if how big you got to go before your decay becomes non-standard.
@@Dunkelelf3 but those elements which are mentioned in the video have no use? Do they have special skills or functions? are they just heavy and that's all?
earth, wood, water, fire are the elements in lost kingdoms on the game cube. then in lost kimgdoms 2 they add mechanical and neutral. i love those games! so unique.
And now the million dollar question - why do we need those elements? What can they or even just this research be used to? Or is it just because we can...? xD
FOR SCIENCE!!! But seriously though, half the inventions we use today just sort of ...happened, as a byproduct of people just trying to push the limits of what can be done. It can be very, very hard to predict what sorts of applications can be found in the wake of pure science.
I can't wait for this element from DC Comics mythology to become a reality: Nth metal. It would be neat, to quote a DC Comics database wiki: "In the Justice League animated series, Nth metal has a somewhat different history. In the TV series, Nth metal is transuranic iron with an atomic number of 676, possesses innate anti-magical properties, is hyper-conductive and is able to invert mesons and gravitons." This would be neat and make us rethink physics if it became reality.

Yeah it should be called Lazarium
And now we wait for Moscovium to reanimate dead cells
Please make a follow-up video to tell us why finding new elements is a useful thing. Thank you!
I'm surprised it's not commercialized yet and a name wasn't Googleium or something
Nah that sounds too naughty.
i think you cant buy them because they fall apart in seconds. that is how unstable they are.
+nick venendaal no shit sherlock
Flap Drol ask it random people on the street. i bet only a few know that the last elements on the list are this unstable.
even although there are plenty of people that know it, it is not comment knowledge and it is not important enough to be so.
also, a reacted to a person that seemed to not know this so told him (or he was trolling but o well)
en ja, dat mensen dit niet weten is ook het geval in nederland.
I presume at some point we are going to reach a theoretical limit as to how big an atomic nucleus can become and thus how many elements we can create
The fathers of these elements must be so proud.
Oganessian really was the Og.
No?
Fine, I'll stopppp.

Nice to meet you new elements. Hope you enjoy your staying to periodic table.
"Hey, what should we name element 113?"
"How about sunrise land?"
This is the funniest, most creative reference I've seen here, and in 2 years it only got 2 likes. Sad.
Imagine observing like a kg of these elements. Obviously not possible yet, but a cool thing to try and imagine.
I feel like you’d just create some cancerous and maybe explosive block with such unstable elements
It is great to hear this..But I am sad as till now also, my chemistry books are not updated ..
Moscovium? Awww man, I was hoping it would be called Elerium. I mean, if we can name a protein Sonic the Hedgehog and its inhibitor Robotnikinin we could have at least called 115 Elerium.
Different rules apply to naming raw elements vs. compounds created by multiple elements.
Actually by the petitions related to Disc World, media in general is considered as myth.
I would of liked it to be called Divinium. If only Rictofen showed the Americans more of his plans.
+HunterPlaythroughs Liquid Moscovium doesn't sound quite right.
+Sierox That's not creepy at all.
Tennessine and Oganesson are such awesome element names. Happy to see some diversion from the ______ium formula :)
They went with the trend of the elements in the same column. Above Tennessine is AstatINE, IodINE, BromINE, ChlorINE, and FluorINE. Likewise, above Organesson is RadON, XenON, KryptON, ArgON, and NeON.

Scientist creating elements with more than 119
College students: End me
Element 420 is Weedium (Wd)
Nihon isn't a mere reference to Japan: Nihon means "Japan" in Japanese. And thank you for pronouncing it more or less correctly.
I always wondered, what real application of a new atom (new element) if it's so unstable that it decays. You can't even use it for anything, right ?
Or is it just a game of discovering what nature is capable of sustaining ?
We didn't find a way to use it. Most inventions are only discoveries that may be practical 20 years later.
Chuck Norris only believes in the element of surprise.
Wow thats great. As a man who loves science so much this is a great news.
Element 118, the OG element.
So will we find out some time in our lifetime if these elements have any unique abilities or is it just more unless heavy radioactive elements
Make a video about their properties?
Why didn't they talk about liveronium? As a resident of Livermore, I am upset.
Hank didn't mention Livermorium because it has been accepted for over four years, and these elements have been accepted for less than two weeks. The elements with even atomic numbers are easier to create, so it got done sooner.
Because it was named quite a while ago - it's not new.
Livermore in the HOUSE
Personally wouldn't it better to have two separate periodic tables that first show DISCOVERED elements then having a secondary periodic table of 'elements' showing INVENTED elements?
*As in my opinion it just makes it clear between the two.
I totally agree. These are man made, not discovered.
The periodic table exists (and is useful) because it sorts atomic elements by a single property (atomic number) and allows us to then visualize how that one property produces trends in all the other properties (like electron shell structure, reactivity, phase at STP etc.) . Leaving gaps in the table simply because some elements are synthetic and some are naturally occurring might be of interest to an historian, but to someone who actually wanted to USE the table, it would just be confusing. It would be like drawing a map of the night sky, but omitting the stars that were named before the invention of the telescope. Interesting historically, but just annoying to people who wanted to learn about the stars.
Besides, most periodic tables already DO indicate which elements are synthetic by indicating which elements are unstable. The unstable elements are the ones that don't exist in nature, and had to be synthesized to be discovered.
What purpose does that serve, though? They are still elements, and are important to the overall knowledge of physics and chemistry and science in general. I see no reason to separate elements that are usually stable from elements that are usually unstable.
no. because they might be stable somewhere in the universe we inhabit. heck, we've only drilled a few miles into earth. near earths core there could be all sorts of things going on and other elements we have no idea about.
Awesome to know about element 117, good ole Tennessee.
115 should be called, “Dave Lazar told you about this in the 80’s! -ium”
It's Bob Lazar
We’ve known it could exist even longer than that.... and if you’re going to name it after Lazar Fraudium would be a better name. Since that’s what Bob Lazar is.
but why? how does it help us to create a molecule of an unstable element that we are never gonna use?
just because we dont use them now doesnt mean we wont use them ever, newton discovered calculus as a way to predict the movements of planets and other celestial bodies,and they didnt know that in the future,man would use them to actually go to those planets
Because SCIENCE
+Zeus Omega While noble, you have a misunderstanding of what science is about. It's not about being useful, it's about learning more about our universe. These elements are and always will be too unstable to ever use for anything, ever. And scientists don't have a problem with that. Discovery for the sake of discovery is reason enough.
+Anthony Khodanian Thank you! And i know, mr.hawking said it best: "Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest.And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in" :D
Zeus Omega Yes, well there is a much deeper desire to research stuff for future mars missions than to create an unstable element for a few seconds at enormous cost.
Element 115 was what Bob Lazar disclosed as the fuel used by an alien ship he was working on reverse engineering. So element 115 has got to be named Lazarium
Element 117 should be named "Spartanite"
Since Element 117 is in the family of halogens, it should rhyme with Chlorine, Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine. And it does: Tennessine.
Video posted 1 minute ago, and someone has already disliked it.
Right!
2 people? 2 trump supporters don't like science.
or people dont know how to undo dislike .
prob cuz they didn't name 115 something zombie related.
I agree bc they should've named the 115 after cod zombies
Names:
119: Edisonium, named after Thomas Edison.
120: Unobtaniun, named after how it is almost “Unobtainable”.
121: Writium, Named after the Write (Sorry for spelling) Brothers, flying the first “plane” because 121 is a restaurant in a Airport.

If someone was able to make an element so large/heavy that it collapsed on itself, would that element then just be called "the black hole element"? This of course would probably be element #1,250 or something.
No. Think about what a neutron star is. It is the densest natural object in the known universe that is still matter. And still several orders of magnitude more massive than our sun. But with enough extra mass added, yes it would collapse in on itself. But no, an atom cannot be created that would collapse under its own weight.
nunya bisnass
Thanks for your reply, what you said makes sense. :)
It was proposed that neutron stars were made of neutronium, element 0, with 0 protons and electrons, just neutrons.
Neutrons are very light, lighter than the lightest element. So they would easily hold together. Also, the protons and electrons are not striped away, they are combined into neutrons.
Yeah, it's not really an element. It's kinda just a hypothesis.
Element 115? Zombies confirmed
i had the same reaction
Its only a matter of time!
I was thinking that LOLOL
That just means the element has an atomic number of 115.
4:14 and because we didnt have enough space on the poster.
Wait a sec... Element 115? Well shite CoD zombies about to become a real thing
MORE TIME TO PLAY WITH MY PRETTY ONES!!!!
115 IS REAL. PREPARE FOR ZOMBIES.
115 is a great song
And yet, Element 115 is completely harmless.
+TheDevillChaser harmless... for now
I wouldn't say "completely harmless" with one of the heaviest and most unstable elements newly known to man.
The funny thing is someone who used to work at area 51 (Bob Lazar) said that they had UFO's and shit, and they were taking apart the UFO and the element that seemed to be powering the craft were 115 then called Ununpentium as it's temporary name. This was in 1989 or some year around there.
I like your white and gold shirt, Hank!
But why tho? Like whats the advantage of making these new Elements that only last for moments... Just cause they can?
To sell more textbooks.
No, if you could take the energy produced by the half life of those elements, it would produce a lot of energy, which could be used with elements that are also radioactivly unstable like uranium
Back in the 18th century, scientists played with electricity without knowing of what its potential was. Someday this stuff may be useful
It takes way more energy to create one of those atoms than it would radiate
***** Fusion requires more energy than it radiates past iron, that's why stars don't exist forever and eventually either burn out or supernova away
Thought experiment: How how far can we go with creating heavier elements, and will they ever create a particle so large, we end up with a singularity?
Not really. The instability of the heavier nuclei are due to the limitations of the gluons holding them together. I mean, technically a neutron star can be considered as just a single arbitrarily large atom but it's held together by gravity, not the strong force. So unless your particle collider can smash extrasolar masses together you're not going to get a singularity...
No
I'm planning to be a particle physicist so this is useful information to give my friends headaches with.
Bob Lazar was talking about element 115 since 1989.
What about the apothicons? They literally send element 115 to the humans to free them from the dark aether!
Know your facts khan
I have been talking about element 120 for 2 years and in a couple of years i wil be right. After the discovery of element 120 i wil be talking about element 121 and i wil also be right.

1:20 well isn't it ironic that the force that does hold protons and neutrons together is called the STRONG force then.
Not really. The reason it is called the strong force, is that it is about 100 times stronger than electromagnetism, and its counterpart the weak force is about 100 times weaker than electromagnetism.
Your the best Hank.

im just learning about elements this year and this is probably the most entertaining science unit yet
Tfw 0:15 he shows the new one and says it's outdated :|
He doesn't show the new one. He shows the one from before these elements had names.
So why are there the new names?
Only a few atoms made of these elements and they are allowed to be put in the periodic table , they have no idea what these elements characteristics are or even how they look like
I love my chem text! If I have a stressful day at work I chill out by taking chem quizzes.
Yay more things to learn chemistry!
Why god?
If theyre unstable and breakdown instantly, whats the point of having them in our periodic table?
It's because it exists. The Periodic Table of Elements aren't listed by their uses.
You could make the same point about a lot of rare or unstable elements, they're basically never used even by chemists, but nobody's demanding we abolish astatine.
+Jephthah San Pedro well, you could also make an element with the atomic number 1 million, but what's the point of that?
they are elements that exist only in certain circumstances... right now, most likely, none of those synthetic elemennts exist. You wouldnt be able to find them anywhere on Earth or maybe even anywhere in the universe... but because it existed for less than a second, lets add 20 more rows to the periodic table. Scientists dont know what the use of those elements are and most likely kids in school are not going to learn anything about them at all, just that they exist, and because of that, they have to change school books. great. (y)
The point is to search for the hypothesis Unbinilium-Island of Stability, the only heacy element ever that don't decay immediately
It's increasingly harder for us to create more stable super heavy elements because we're running low on neutrons. The more protons there are, the more neutrons the nucleus needs in order to obtain some stability. Since the lighter isotopes we use to collide don't provide all that many neutrons for the super heavy elements, we'd need to find a way to get lone electrons or even entire nuclei made up of only neutrons and collide them, too.
So... what exactly is the point of making these? They don't last long enough to react or anything, so can their existence teach us something?
some believe there might be super heavy "elements" that might again be stable and could have properties never seen before.. however if we learned anything from them is that the heavier they get the quicker they fall appart.. i mean they last basically a fraction of a second at best.. but the research isn't just for naught.. it might also give us insight on what might be created, however only really short in supernovae explosions..
and maybe just maybe there is also isotopes of those heavy elements that are maybe not totally stable forever but living long enough to be used somehow.. but without creating them and researching we wouldn't ever find out.. and well sometimes research for the sake of it is enough :)
Plus they lead into other quirky incidentals, isotopes decay into other odd isotopes so even the products they become would probably be odd, plus all the interesting stuff you find along the way by accident. I wonder if how big you got to go before your decay becomes non-standard.
@@Dunkelelf3 but those elements which are mentioned in the video have no use? Do they have special skills or functions? are they just heavy and that's all?

Awesome!!!
And now the million dollar question - why do we need those elements? What can they or even just this research be used to? Or is it just because we can...? xD
Because we don't know yet how can we harness them in the mean time. Maybe there's an element out there like badassium which Tony created.
FOR SCIENCE!!!
But seriously though, half the inventions we use today just sort of ...happened, as a byproduct of people just trying to push the limits of what can be done. It can be very, very hard to predict what sorts of applications can be found in the wake of pure science.
To test the limits of the universe and the particles that make it up
I can't wait for this element from DC Comics mythology to become a reality: Nth metal. It would be neat, to quote a DC Comics database wiki:
"In the Justice League animated series, Nth metal has a somewhat different history. In the TV series, Nth metal is transuranic iron with an atomic number of 676, possesses innate anti-magical properties, is hyper-conductive and is able to invert mesons and gravitons."
This would be neat and make us rethink physics if it became reality.
its to get your name in a book,that's the only use i can think of
