As the professor explained at the
end of the video, the reason to look for element 120 before looking for 119 is that elements with an even number of protons (like elements 118 or 120) appear
to be more stable than elements with an odd number of protons (like element 119).
With the synthesis of extremely heavy and unstable elements like unbinilium, we are expanding the...
Why do you think it is interesting to synthesize these heavy elements that don’t have any use?
