Liquid,Metal, or Gas?
Nihonium is a synthetic element which very little is known about, but when created, it is expected to be a solid at room temperature.
Metal, Non-metal, or Metalloid?
Nihonium is classified as a metal.
Currently there are no uses for this element, outside of scientific research.
Chemical and Physical Properties
Nihonium's most stable isotope lasts only 10 seconds. On top of that, only a few atoms of Nihonium have ever been created. Hence, there is no knowledge on Nihonium's physical properties. Though there is 1 chemical property known about Nihonium; itis know to be extremely radioactive; just like most synthetic elements.
Nihonium was created on July 23, 2004, in Wako, Japan at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-based Science. A team of scientists lead by Kosuke Morita created the first two atoms of Nihonium by accelerating zinc ions to 10 percent the speed of light and then colliding them with bismuth. After Nihonium was created, it went through a series of 4 alpha decays. First it decayed to make Roentgenium, then decayed into Meitnerium, then Bohrium, and finally Dubnium.
Where Can I Find a Picture of Nihonium?
There are no images of Nihonium taken. At least, there are no pictures available to the public. The most stable isotope of Nihonium only lasts 10 seconds before it decays into Roentgenium. This could be the reason why there are no images of Nihonium. Although, after further scientific research, there may be images of Nihonium available.
