Moscovium

Pronounced

mos-KOH-vee-əm

Moscovium (Mc) is a radioactive metal that has the atomic number 115 in the periodic table, its appearance is not fully known due to the minuscule amounts produced of it. It is in Group 15. It has the symbol Mc.

Moscovium was discovered by the combined efforts of Yuri Oganessian and Ken Moody in 2003. The element was discovered as a result of the fusion of Calcium 48 and Americium 243. The calcium ions were accelerated in a cylcotron and combined with americium atoms. The element is named after Moscow, in respect of the contribution that the Russian team played. It is predicted to have properties similar to Bismuth.
