INTRODUCTION
Darmstadtium is an extremely rare, unstable chemical element. The large number of particles in the nucleus makes the atom unstable and causes the atom to split apart into smaller components soon after it is created.
Darmstadtium is derived from the German state Darmstadt, which is where the research was performed.
