Tenness (English Tennessine ) is an artificially produced chemical element with the element symbol Ts and the atomic number 117. In the periodic table it is in the 17th  IUPAC group and thus belongs to the halogens . It was first artificially generated in 2010 at the Dubna Nuclear Research Center near Moscow . The name is derived from the US state of Tennessee , in which the Oak Ridge National Laboratory , producer of the precursor Berkelium , is located.

History and synthesis

The Berkelium sample for the synthesis of Tenness (in solution)

Tenness was created in 2010 by bombarding Berkelium ( ²⁴⁹ Bk) with the element calcium ( ⁴⁸ Ca). For this purpose, a 22-milligram sample of Berkelium ( ²⁴⁹ Bk) was produced in 2009 in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in a 250-day irradiation . After several processing steps, it was bombarded with calcium atoms ( ⁴⁸ Ca) for 150 days in the United Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna , Russia, in the U400 cyclotron . This resulted in the first few atoms of the Tenness isotopes ²⁹³ Ts and ²⁹⁴ Ts. This synthesis was a culmination of the Russian-American collaboration between JINR and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the synthesis of elements 113-118, which began in 1989.

The decay times are 14 ms for the lighter isotope and 78 ms for the heavier one.

Tenness-294 was also detected in 2014 at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt.

Naming

After the discovery, the element was initially given the systematic name Ununseptium (chemical symbol Uus ), a formation from the Latin unum for 'one' and the Latin septem for 'seven', corresponding to the ordinal number 117. It was also known as Eka -Astat , composed of Sanskrit एक eka for 'one' and astat , with reference to its classification in the periodic table, a place below astat.

On December 30, 2015, the discovery of the element was officially recognized by the IUPAC and the working group of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Dubna, Russia, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California, USA and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, USA the right to Naming awarded. On June 8, 2016, the IUPAC announced that the English name Tennessine (Ts) had been proposed for the element ; the objection period ended on November 8, 2016. On November 30, 2016, the final name was published.

Since the Germans, the English suffix -ine for items is not common and the corresponding German ending -in at least for the rest of halogens outdated, it was decided by a set up by the IUPAC expert panel in April 2017 that the German name of the element 117 Tennessee loud should, with an emphasis on the first syllable.

safety instructions

There is no classification according to the CLP regulation or other regulations, because only a few atoms of this element can be produced at the same time and thus far too few for chemical or physical hazard.
