Uuo
INTRODUCTION
Ununoctium 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.
Ununoctium is a temporary name assigned according to a system that uses Latin prefixes for the atomic number (un = 1, oct = 8), followed by the suffix -ium.
