ununennium

ununennium is the proposed temporary systematic name for an undiscovered chemical element with atomic number 119, the first element in the eighth period of the periodic table. The name is derived from the Latin numerals for 1, 1, and 9, reflecting its position as the eleventh element of the seventh group in the periodic table. Until an official name is assigned by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), ununennium is represented by the symbol Uue.

The element has not yet been synthesized or confirmed by experiment. Attempts to produce ununennium have involved high-energy collisions of lighter nuclei with heavy targets, but no reliable evidence of its creation has yet been reported. Theoretical calculations suggest that ununennium would belong to group 1, the alkali metals, and would display properties analogous to francium but with significantly higher relativistic effects due to its large atomic number. Predictive models indicate that it would be a soft, silvery metal with a relatively high density and may exist in a gaseous state under standard laboratory conditions.

The discovery and characterization of ununennium would extend the known periodic table to element 119 and provide insight into the behavior of superheavy elements, the stability of the "island of stability," and the limits of nuclear binding. Consequently, ununennium is a subject of interest in nuclear physics and chemistry, and its eventual synthesis would represent a milestone in the exploration of the periodic landscape beyond the currently known 118 elements.
