Flerovium is a chemical element with atomic number 114 and the element symbol Fl. In the periodic table it is in the 14th  IUPAC group and thus belongs to the carbon group . It is one of the transactinoids . Only a few atoms were made, each only existing for a few seconds.

history

Flerovium was probably first produced in 1999 at the United Institute for Nuclear Research near Dubna ( Russia ) by scientists from the Institute and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory . The discovery was confirmed by the IUPAC in June 2011 , with which this element officially entered the periodic table of the elements. On May 23, 2012, the name proposed on December 1, 2011 was adopted by the IUPAC. Until then it was called Ununquadium (chemical symbol Uuq ). The new name was given in honor of the Russian physicist Georgi Fljorow (English transcription Flerov ).

properties

The most stable of the previously known Flerovium isotopes , 285 Fl, has a long half-life of 5 seconds compared to neighboring elements in the periodic table . This is because the ordinal number 114 is a so-called magic number ; due to a closed lower shell in the nuclear shell model , nuclei with 114 protons are relatively stable. The isotope 298 Fl, which has not yet been synthesized, would be a doubly magical nucleus; That is, the neutron number would also be a magic number. It is therefore expected that the half-life of this isotope will be significantly higher.

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.
