Ununoctium is a speculative element and a highly radioactive metal. this means that people aren't completely sure if it exists. At room temperature it is a solid. Only three or four atoms of ununoctium discovered are in the world right now. Since there is a very little amount of it there is no definite picture of what it looks like. Its melting point and boiling point are both unknown.<ref name=RSC>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 name=RSC/> | 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.
