'''Ununoctium''' is the 118th element in the [[periodic table]]. The word ununoctium means one one eight. There is a chance that it has at least one [[isotope]]. Its [[chemical properties]] are thought to be similar to other [[noble gasses]]. Most of its physical properties are unknown due to recent discovery. It was first made in [[Russia]] at the [[Flerov Labortory of Nuclear reactions]]. It is made by firing [[calcium]] at [[californium]]. When ununoctium decays it becomes [[livermorium-290]]. It takes about 11 hours to make. | '''Ununoctium''' is the 118th element in the [[periodic table]]. The word ununoctium means one one eight. There is a chance that it has at least one [[isotope]].

It is a very [[radioactive]] substance. It is a solid in room [[temperature]]. There is no picture of it due to there being few atoms of it in the world. The few that exist are used only for research. To make it a beam of 2.5 x 1019 calcium [[ions]] was fired at californium. This produced ununtoctium. There were rumors that it was actually found in 1999 but this theory isn't proven because there isn't enough evidence and they were unable to repeat the process. | |||
