The Russians have created a rare element

Russian scientists have succeeded in fusing out the 118th element in the Mendeleev periodic table.

>>>Japan found the 113th chemical element

Physicists at the Institute of Atomic Science in the Dubne region, outskirts of Moscow, experimented with chemical elements 118 in the Mendeleev periodic table successfully. For the first time, this element was successfully incorporated in 2002.

Rare element 118th in the Mendeleev periodic table.

In nature, non-existent elements that have atomic numbers greater than 92 are heavier than Uran. The heavier elements, such as Pluton, can only be produced in nuclear reactions. The heavier elements Fermium can only be created in accelerators, by bombarding heavy ionic particles. After combining the 'bullet' nucleus used to bombard, we will get a new element.

People use berkelium as a bombardment target. In its nucleus of 97 protons and when adding 20 protons from the bombardment of calcium, we created the 117th element. The process of decaying the berkelium isotope is 320 to 330 days. After this time, half of the substance has been turned into another element, with 98 protons (ie isotope potassium-249). This reaction between calcium and potassium isotope gives element 118.

The element 118 was first successfully combined in 2006. The group of academics Yuri Oganesyan from Flerov laboratory announced the birth of the 118th element, after bombarding cali by U-400 accelerator. ionic particles of calcium-48 isotopes. The lifetime of this element is only 0.9 milliseconds.
