wesil Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 We talked about this in our science class in September of 2004 a manmade element created by Japanese scientist was created. They tried to create this element by using a cyclotron to attack the atoms of bismuth, number 83 with the atoms of zinc numbered 30. By using the cyclotron they were successful in creating the new element after 80 days of attacking and the new element disintegrated in 0.3 of a millisecond. This new element whose atomic number is 113 is the heaviest known element and may possibly be named “japonium.” It has a mass number of 278 with 113 protons and 165 neutrons in its nucleus.
