Answer to Problem 39A
- The name of element of atomic number 117 is Ununseptium.
- The name of element of atomic number 118 is Ununoctium.
- The name of element of atomic number 119 is Ununennium.
- The name of element of atomic number 120 is Unbinilium.
Explanation of Solution
The table of name of digits in the IUPAC naming of elements is as follows:
Digits | Name |
0 | nil |
1 | un |
2 | bi |
3 | tri |
4 | quad |
5 | pent |
6 | hex |
7 | sept |
8 | oct |
9 | enn |
For the element 117, name is,
117=Un+un+sept+ium=Ununseptium
For element 118,
118=Un+un+oct+ium=Ununoctium
For element 119,
119=Un+un+enn+ium=Ununennium
For element 120
120=Un+bi+nil+ium=Unbinilium
Using the Latin names of the digits (0 to 9), the IUPAC name of elements can be determined.
