IUPAC ANNOUNCES THE NAMES OF THE ELEMENTS 113, 115, 117, AND 118

"Overall, it was a real pleasure to realize that so many people are interested in the naming of the new elements, including high-school students, making essays about possible names and telling how proud they were to have been able to participate in the discussions," said Professor Jan Reedijk, President of the Inorganic Chemistry Division. He added "It is a long process from initial discovery to the final naming, and IUPAC is thankful for the cooperation of everyone involved. For now, we can all cherish our periodic table completed down to the seventh row. "
