Question

In the modern periodic table, the element with atomic number $Z=118$ will be:

• A. Uuo ; Ununoctium ; alkaline earth metal
• B. Uno ; Unniloctium ; transition metal
• C. Uno ; Unniloctium ; alkali metal
• D. Uuo ; Ununoctium ; noble gas

Answer 1

The correct option is D Uuo ; Ununoctium ; noble gas

The roots of '1', '1' and '8' are 'un', 'un' and 'oct' respectively. Hence the name becomes Ununoctium and the symbol is 'Uuo'.
The electronic configuration of element having $Z=118$ is: $\left[Rn\right]5f^{14}6d^{10}7s^{2}7p^6$
Since the outer shell has a complete octet $\left(7s^{2}7p^6\right)$, it would be a noble gas element.
