Hs
INTRODUCTION
Hassium 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.
Hassium is derived from the German state Hassia, which is where the research was performed.
