Question

What if you are a scientist who discovered an element, how are you going to name it and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps

Explanation:

The scientists who discovered them will start things off by proposing a name. But it will be down to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) to approve it. A special division of the US-based group has to accept the proposal.

Answer 2

Being the discoverer of an element, it is critical to follow the rules given by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) committee while naming an element or else it is subject to rejection.

The following parameters will be taken into consideration while naming an element (as per IUPAC guidelines) :

1. It can be named based on a mythological concept, a mineral, a place or country, specific characteristics, discoverer, or scientist.
2. The naming of an element should be in such a way that it retains uniformity with the periodic table and atomic number.
3. It should also reflect the chemical consistency of the new element.
4. The element can be given a name based on its position in the periodic table, or the group in which it belongs, which ranges from 1 to 18. In that case, it should have properties that are similar to those of the group.

• After complying with the IUPAC rules of naming an element, the proposed name of an element will be sent to the Inorganic chemistry division IUPAC for final approval of the element's name.
