Answers
Explanation:
The temporary names are derived systematically from the element'satomic number. Each digit is translated to a 'numerical root', according to the table to the right. The roots areconcatenated, and the name is completed with the ending suffix-ium. Some of the roots areLatinand others areGreek; the reason is to avoid two digits starting with the same letter (Ex: 0 = nil, 9 = enn, 4 = quad, 5 = pent, 6 = hex, 7 = sept) . There are twoelisionrules designed to prevent odd-looking names.
