Element 111 · Solid at room temperature
Roentgenium
Roentgenium is atom number 111 — every Roentgenium atom has exactly 111 protons in its center, and that number is what makes it Roentgenium and nothing else. Its symbol is Rg. At room temperature it is a solid.
Roentgenium is a chemical element with symbol Rg and atomic number 111. It is an extremely radioactive synthetic element (an element that can be created in a laboratory but is not found in nature); the most stable known isotope, roentgenium-282, has a half-life of 2.1 minutes. Roentgenium was first created in 1994 by the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research near Darmstadt, Germany.
Summary from the source dataset, derived from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 3.0) · original article
Roentgenium sits in period 7, group 11 of the d-block. Its 111 electrons fill shells of 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 17, 2 — written as *[Rn] 5f14 6d10 7s1. Its electronegativity is — on the Pauling scale. The outermost shell holds 2 electrons — the ones that do all the chemistry.
