>Meet nihonium (Nh), moscovium (Mc), tennessine (Ts) and oganesson (Og), the newest elements on the periodic table to receive names. But don't get too attached to the nomenclature for these elements, formerly known by their respective atomic numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118. The names are on a five-month probation before things are made official.
>The elements were recognized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, or IUPAC, the U.S.-based world authority on chemistry, on December 30, 2015. Their addition completed the seventh row of the periodic table.
>The discoverers of the elements were invited to propose the names, and now a public review of the names begins, expiring on November 8, 2016. If you feel strongly about these names, the union invites you to provide comments and feedback

Do we know how these chemicals react?
Just out of lazy curiosity

very little is known about these elements and their properties. The half-lifes are very short. I don't think anyone has obtained a long enough lasting sample to be able to test its reactivity with other elements and compounds but scientists can make educated guesses. If you look up each of the elements by their numbers you can find their old temporary names to look up the properties of. Here is 115 (Moscovium):

I like the names. Certainly better than ununpentium and all the other 'unun' names.
Element 117 should have been named Spartanium
(((Jidf))) im here if u want me

They're just fabricated by smashing atoms together and don't last very long. You'd expect them to behave somewhat similarly to other elements in it's respective column.
Essentially it's just a scam by periodic table manufacturers/printers to force academic institutions to constantly keep updating their no doubt overly expensive periodic table posters.

This is the worst strategy for defending a post I've seen today.
my body is 70% nihonium

Truly there is nothing they won't do
