Copernicum and others

Well. It's official. The heaviest element to date has just be named COPERNICIUM.



Also, based on the periodic table that we have been seen eversince the beginning of our school years, it is kinda obvious that they do need a slight re-do on the table don u think? This table was in a sense the "lates" one, with atomic number going highest to 103 (Lr - Lawrencium). THAT WAS WAY PASSE now... We have till 112 for pete's sake!!!!

Anyways, to those who wants to know, the elements after 103 till the latest is below:

104 - Rf - Rutherfordium
105 - Db - Dubnium
106 - Sg - Seaborgium
107 - Bh - Bohrium
108 - Hs - Hassium
109 - Mt - Meitnerium
110 - Ds - Darmstadtium
111 - Rg - Roentgenium
112 - Cn - Copernicium

Be good in chemistry!!! :p
