Question
Question: IUPAC representation of the elements of atomic number \( 115 \) is \( Uup \) . If true enter \( 1 \)...
IUPAC representation of the elements of atomic number 115 is Uup . If true enter 1 , else enter 0 .
Solution
Moscovium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Mc and atomic number 115 . In the periodic table, it is a p− block transaction element. It is a member of the 7th period and is placed in group 15 as the heaviest pnictogen, although it has not been confirmed to behave as a heavier homologue of the pnictogen bismuth.
Complete answer:
Ununpentium is a highly super heavy and an artificially produced radioactive element that has an atomic number of 115 and a symbol of Uup . The element is characterized as a metal and is known to exist as solid in nature at room temperature. It was discovered by bombarding the atoms of the element Americium −243 with the ions of calcium.
It decays quickly within no span of time into the other elements such as the ununtrium. Ununpentium has about four isotopes with their known half-lives, of which the most stable isotope is the 289 Uup, which has a half-life measuring about 220 milliseconds. Among the products produced as a result of the bombardment were the four atoms of ununpentium and which is about less than 101 second got decayed into the atoms of ununtrium.
So, the correct answer is 1 .
Note:
Moscovium is predicted to be the third member of the 7p series of chemical elements and the heaviest member of group 15 in the periodic table, below bismuth. Unlike the two previous 7p elements, moscovium is expected to be a good homologue of its lighter congener, in this case bismuth. In this group, each member is known to portray the group oxidation state of +5 but with differing stability.
