Moscovium
unknown, probably post-transition metal · period 7 · group 15 (pnictogens) · p-block
Moscovium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Mc and atomic number 115. 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.
What the numbers say
At standard temperature and pressure Moscovium is a solid, sitting in period 7, group 15 of the p-block.
Its melting point of 670 K (397 °C) is the 76th highest of the 110 elements with a measured value — mid-range among the elements.
First identified in 2004.
