The Periodic Table Officially Has 4 New Members

[Suzanimal]

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), has officially approved the names of four new elements to be added to the periodic table. The new elements, Nihonium, Moscovium, Tennessine, and Oganesson, are now officially part of the periodic table, in spots 113, 115, 117, and 118, respectively.

Back in January the IUPAC, which handles the naming of new elements, officially confirmed that the four new elements had been found. In June, the organization put these four names to a vote. Now those names have been accepted and are going on the periodic table.

Three of the elements, Nihonium, Moscovium, and Tennessine, were named after the places the were discovered, namely Japan (Nihon), Moscow, and Tennessee. The fourth, Oganesson, was named after Russian nuclear scientist Yuri Oganessian.

With the addition of these four elements, the seventh row of the periodic table has finally been completed. Any new elements discovered in the future will require an additional row.

The names for elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 are: Nihonium (Nh), Moscovium (Mc), Tennessine (Ts), and Oganesson (Og), respectively.

Look on the bright side, think of all the new words we can make with those additions.

I am susprised the SJWs have not latched on to this yet, shrieking "raycis" or whatever their whine-du-jour is on any given day. Why are BLM not going on that no element be named after a blaque person? Why is Gloria Steinem silent on the absence of "Bitchium" or "Vaginium" of "Fukalmenium" from the table? The snowflakes should be whinging for "Safespacium" and "Triggerine". I see gays are silent about having elements such as "Penisium".

The silence leaves me feeling very suspicious. After all, these folks are well known for raising stinks on just about every issue imaginable.

It's probably sexist as well to even suggest there is such a thing as a table with a period.
