Eugenie S. Reich reports:"Swedish researchers have reported strong evidence for the formation of element 115, some 9 years after Russian researchers first claimed to detect a nucleus with 115 protons."
Although other scientists have published about the fusion reaction that lead to the creation of element 288115,
IUPAC (Barber, R.C. et al, 2011) wrote this two years ago:"Chemical properties of confirmed heavy elements are important for improving relativistic theories of chemical behavior.
However, by itself, current theory is sufficiently uncertain that it cannot be used to distinguish the properties of Groups 4 and 5 elements in this region with confidence."
Although IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) has yet to confirm and name the element, its provisional name is Ununpentium.
So how would you name it if IUPAC confirmed its existence and asked for your opinion about a possible name?
