Four new elements are about to be added to the periodic table: nihonium (Nh, element 113), moscovium (Mc, element 115), tennessine (Ts, element 117), and oganesson (Og, element 118). When you say ...

Superheavy discovery: oganesson is named after the Russian-Armenian physicist Yuri Oganessian. In 2002, a team of Russian and American scientists created the first ever atom of oganesson, which is the ...

Oganesson, that element at the bottom right of the periodic table, has 118 protons. The only isotope of it we have managed to make has 176 neutrons, for a combination of 294 nucleons, the main ...

Oganesson is the second element named for a living person; the first, seaborgium, was named in 1997 after American physicist Glenn Seaborg two years before his death.

Without further adieu, allow me to introduce elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 -- nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson, respectively. The four new elements help finish off the seventh row of ...

Meet nihonium (Nh), moscovium (Mc), tennessine (Ts) and oganesson (Og), the newest elements on the periodic table to receive names. But don’t get too attached to the nomenclature for these ...

‘Nihonium (Nh),’ Moscovium (Mc), Oganesson (Og) and Tennessine (Ts) are four elements that were officially name-approved and joined 118 other elements on the periodic table Wednesday.

Nihonium (113), Moscovium (115), Tennessine (117), and Oganesson (118) have now been officially added to the periodic table of elements. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES. NEWSLETTER SIGNUP.

Oganesson is in the column with the noble elements like argon, radon, and krypton, so there you go. The process involved with naming an element is pretty interesting.
