Question

What were the instruments used in preparing the newest four elements nihonium moscovium tennessine and oganesson?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heavier elements like these are made by forming an accelerated ion beam in a particle accelerator and directing that beam at a target. Every so often, the accelerated ion smashes into a nucleus in the target and the two fuse, forming a new element that is then detected behind the beam. Preparing these new elements required selecting just the right atoms for the beam and the target and being patient. Another limiting step, aside from the specialty equipment is acquiring the isotopes necessary to do the experiment.

Here’s a youtube playlist that explains the production of the super heavy elements.

Answer 2

The four new elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, 117, and 118 were synthesized in laboratories around the world. They are placed on the seventh row of the periodic table.

The instrument used to prepare heavy elements such as these is by forming an accelerated ion beam in a particle accelerator and then directing that to the nucleus causing the ion and nucleus to fuse together.

XRF (X-ray fluorescence) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials. This helps in determining the chemistry of the sample when it gets excited by a primary X-ray source.
