Hi everyoneπ, Welcome back after a long vacation guys!!!
I'm specially adding this post to our blog as I wished to share this update with you all. This will not affect your studies right now but will surely keep you updated with this piece of information that I'm going to share.
All of us know about the periodic table, the base of chemistry. We all know it has 7columns and 18 rows. Speaking about the column, we knew that it was an incomplete column. Yup, I know some of you might have guessed it; I'm talking about, "The undiscovered elements." They have been discovered.
In this chart of periodic table the last i.e the 7th column describes the names of some elements as (Uut) i.e Ununtrium, (Uup) i.e Ununpentium, (Uus) i.e Ununseptium, (Uuo) i.e Ununoctium.
Now in this updated version of periodic table you can see the names of those discovered elements.
(Nh) is Nihonium, (Mc) is Moscovium, (Ts) is Tennessine and (Og) is Oganesson.
In December 2015, these elements were recognized by IUPAC( International Union of Pure And Applied Chemistry) and IUPAP(International union of Pure And Applied Physics) and gave priority to the Russian-American team who had discovered them before.
On 28th November 2016, these elements were officially named and given were symbols by the IUPAC and IUPAP.
I shared this with you all as a piece of information. Might not help now but surely later.
One thing which will be helpful for you all is about Oganesson, some of us being curious about it surely might have thought that, Oganesson being placed in the last row of Noble elements does it exibit the same properties?
Well, speaking about that, although Oganesson belongs to the 18th group it is the first synthetic element which may be significantly reactive unlike to the other elements of that group.
Also it is one of the two elements which were named after the scientists which are alive.ππ
Oganesson is named after Yuri Oganessian. The other one is seaborgium. Named after Glenn T.Seaborg.
