Synthesis of elements 115
Moscovium, symbol Mc is a superheavy synthetic element with atomic number 115, it is also known as element 115, or eka-bismuth.Moscovium is an extremely radioactive element: its most stable known isotope, moscovium-289, has a half-life of only 220 milliseconds.
It was first synthesized in 2003 by a joint team of Russian and American scientists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia.
| In December 2015, it was recognized as one of four new elements by the Joint Working Party of international scientific bodies IUPAC and IUPAP. |
