Study Notes
Element Names and Symbols
- Elements can be named after a country, state, or scientist.
- As of now, elements with atomic numbers up to 118 have been discovered and officially named by IUPAC.
IUPAC Nomenclature
- The IUPAC names for elements with Z above 100 are derived by combining roots for digits 0-9 and adding "lum" at the end.
- The roots for digits 0, 1, 2, and 0 are nil, un, bi, and nil, respectively.
- The symbol and name for the element with atomic number 120 would be Ubn and unbinilium, respectively.
Electronic Configurations and the Periodic Table
- An element's location in the Periodic Table reflects the quantum numbers of the last orbital filled.
- The period indicates the value of n for the outermost or valence shell.
- The distribution of electrons into orbitals of an atom is called its electronic configuration.
IUPAC Official Names
- The IUPAC official names for elements with atomic numbers above 100 are shown in Table 3.5.
- Examples of IUPAC official names include Unnilunium (101), Unbinilium (102), Untrinilium (103), and so on.
Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
- New elements are first given a temporary name and symbol, and later, a permanent name and symbol are given by a vote of IUPAC representatives.
- The discovery of new elements requires highly sophisticated and costly equipment and laboratory facilities.
- The IUPAC recommends a systematic nomenclature for new elements until their discovery is proved and officially recognized.
