Meaning
A radioactive transuranic element.
Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- The highly unstable properties of ununtrium made it difficult to synthesize in a laboratory setting.
- Due to its short half-life, the scientists could only study ununtrium for a few milliseconds after its creation.
- Researchers attempted to synthesize ununtrium by bombarding a target with calcium ions in a particle accelerator.
- As an element that is not found in nature, the creation of ununtrium relied heavily on sophisticated laboratory techniques.
- Because ununtrium has such a brief existence, little is known about its physical properties beyond its decay pattern.
