phaseEl
PhaseEl is a chemical element with the symbol Ph and atomic number 118. It is a synthetic element and is the heaviest known element. PhaseEl was first synthesized in 2006 by a team of Russian and American scientists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia. The element is highly radioactive and has a very short half-life, making it difficult to study.
PhaseEl is a member of the noble gases group on the periodic table, although its properties are
The synthesis of PhaseEl involved the bombardment of a target of californium-249 with calcium-48 ions. The resulting
PhaseEl is not known to have any practical applications, and its study is primarily of academic interest.
