New Name in the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements

Blogger Friend, surely you're all familiar with chemical terms, chemistry, and so on. Especially during high school that used to sit in science class. Chemistry is arguably one of the lessons that 'maybe' less liked by students, because the chemistry lesson arguably one of the lessons are hard to understand. If that were the case, this could be bad news. Why? Due to the already complicated chemistry has now got a new comer in the periodic table of elements. There are three additional new elements were added in the periodic table of elements. These three names have been approved by the General Assembly of International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). Approval was committed in the meeting by the General Assembly which consists of 60 people at the Institute of Physics (IOP), London, Saturday 5 November 2011 that then. These three elements are named Darmstadtium (Ds), Roentgenium (Rg) and Copernicium (Cn), each is numbered 110, 111 and 112.

Head of IOP and the Secretary General of IUPAP, Dr Robert Kirby-Harris, as quoted by the Daily Mail last Saturday said the naming of this element has been approved in consultation with physicists from around the world and we are pleased to see them introduced in the periodic table of elements.

In earlier publications Saturday, LiveScience stated that the three elements of the new element called "superberat" or transuranium. This element exists only in the laboratory, not in nature, once shed quickly become another element and difficult to learn. Not much is known about that element. These three elements have long been found. However, indirect naming must be done in accordance with the agreement due to organizational scientists. Therefore, the three elements can only be added to the Periodic Table.

In general, an element named after its discoverer, the place is found or the name of honor. Copernicium for example, was created February 9, 1996 under the name ununbium. The name did not change until 2009 when the existence of an element has been demonstrated. The name was taken in honor of Copernicus and Copernicus, the first scientist to claim that the Earth around the Sun.

While Roentgenium found December 8, 1994 with the original name unununium. Roentgenium name then used as a tribute to the services of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, the scientist who detects X-rays and won the physics Nobel in 1901.
Darmstadtium created by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Munzenberg with names beginning ununnilium. The name is taken Darmstadtium conducted at the facility for the manufacture of the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Germany, located near the city of Darmstadt.

Having succeeded in giving the names of three elements, the scientists are now trying to name the elements 114 and 116 that have been added to the periodic table of elements that last July. Its official name will soon be introduced some time to come.
