Periodic table's seventh row finally filled

Periodic table's seventh row finally filled as four new elements are added | Science | The Guardian
http://www.theguardian.com/science/2016 ... -are-added


	Quote: Four new elements have been added to the periodic table, finally completing the table’s seventh row and rendering science textbooks around the world instantly out of date.

That made me smile.


	Quote: This article was amended on 4 January 2016. The reference to the new elements being “manmade” was changed to “synthetic” to follow Guardian style guidance on the use of gender-neutral terms.

That made me lol.

Re: Periodic table's seventh row finally filled

While it's awesome that they've filled in the 7th row of the table it's all rather theoretical down there. The chances of ever seeing any of these elements is practically non-existent.
I suspect they've only made a relatively small number of atoms of each one and that when they did make them they fell to bits fairly rapidly afterwards.

Kudos to the teams that discovered/made them none the less.
