They haven't been given proper names. The ones shown are essentially place holders that I assume have been specified by IUPAC. If you want some rather good info about the periodic table then I strongly recommend the Periodic Videos site. The prof on it even has proper 'mad scientist' hair

I didn't try unobtainium! D'oh! I knew I'd missed one! Or tritanium, or duranium!

82, but I started making some guesses at things I didn't know, I got deseperate and started with "nonsense" names, like einsteinium, when that worked, it was easy to get a few more, by entering famoums scientist nameiums... Some countries and universities as well...

I had a problem in that I was going through most of the compound molecules I know to try and get some of the elements... Salt - Sodium Chlorine Water - Hydrogen Oxygen Carbon Dioxide - Carbon Oxygen OK up to now... and then I thought of methane, butane, ethane, propane, etc... and couldn't think of anything other than organice compounds! Hydrogen carbon! GAH already got them! LOL
