Element 116 · Solid at room temperature
Livermorium
Livermorium is atom number 116 — every Livermorium atom has exactly 116 protons in its center, and that number is what makes it Livermorium and nothing else. Its symbol is Lv. At room temperature it is a solid.
Livermorium is a synthetic superheavy element with symbol Lv and atomic number 116. It is an extremely radioactive element that has only been created in the laboratory and has not been observed in nature. The element is named after the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States, which collaborated with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia to discover livermorium in 2000.
Summary from the source dataset, derived from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 3.0) · original article
Livermorium sits in period 7, group 16 of the p-block. Its 116 electrons fill shells of 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, 6 — written as *[Rn] 5f14 6d10 7s2 7p4. Its electronegativity is — on the Pauling scale. The outermost shell holds 6 electrons — the ones that do all the chemistry.
