Making new elements: three new elements - 110,111,112 - have been produced over the past several years. Scientists are now struggling to create 113 and 114. How many elements can they add to the periodic table?
Article Abstract:
The history of the production of chemical elements 112 and 113 are presented. The technology for making new elements have interesting implications on chemical research, from the study of new isotopes of elements to the development of new fusion techniques.
