Question

What would be the $\text{IUPAC}$ name and symbol for the element with atomic number $120?$

Answer 1

Rules for $\text{IUPAC}$ name having atomic number greater than $100$

$\text{Number}$ $\text{Root}$
$0$ $\text{nil}$
$1$ $\text{un}$
$2$ $\text{bi}$
$3$ $\text{tri}$
$4$ $\text{quad}$
$5$ $\text{pent}$
$6$ $\text{hex}$
$7$ $\text{sept}$
$8$ $\text{oct}$
$9$ $\text{enn}$

The name is derived directly from the atomic number of the element using the above latin numerical roots.

The roots are put together in the order of the digits which make up the atomic number and terminated by $‘iu{m}^{\prime }$ to spell out the name. The symbol of the element is composed of the initial letters of the numerical roots which make up the name.

$\text{IUPAC}$ name of element with atomic number $120$

The root for $1$ is $un$

The root for $2$ is $bi$

The root for $0$ is $nil$

Hence, the $\text{IUPAC}$ name for the element with atomic number $120$ is unbinilium and its symbol is $Ubn.$

Final answer:

$\text{IUPAC name}⟶\text{Unbinilium}$
$\text{Symbol}⟶\text{Ubn}$
