Ununoctium is a speculative element. this means that people aren't completely sure if it exists. It is a highly radioactive metal. At room temperature it is a solid. There have only been three or four atoms of ununoctium discovered in the world right now. Since there is a very little ammount of it there has been no definite picture of what it looks like. Its melting point and boiling point are both unknown.<ref>Robertson, Murray. [http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/118/ununoctium Visual elements periodic table] ''RSC''. Web.

Due to ununoctiums scarcity there are very few atoms of it in the world. The few atoms that do exist are used only for research. It has an unknown natural abundance. Furthermore It has no known biological role.<ref | Due to ununoctiums scarcity there are very few atoms of it in the world. The few atoms that do exist are used only for research.
