Not enough Flerovium has been made to measure its physical or chemical properties.

More recently, element 114 sat on the periodic table for 14 years before earning the name flerovium.

The reaction was repeated in 1999 and a further two atoms of flerovium were detected.

These effects cause flerovium's chemistry to be somewhat different from that of its lighter neighbours.

It took thirty years for the first isotopes of flerovium to be synthesized.

The experimental support for a noble-gas-like flerovium was soon to weaken abruptly.

The symbol Fl is now used for the super-heavy element flerovium.

Flerovium can be made by bombarding a plutonium-244 target with calcium-48 as a beam of ions.

There are no known compounds of flerovium.

More recent experiments have suggested, however, that flerovium behaves chemically like lead, as expected from its periodic table position.

Parent copernicium nuclei can be themselves decay products of flerovium or livermorium.

Flerovium does not exist in nature.

Scientists suggest "flerovium" and "livermorium" as names for the newest additions to the periodic table.

Further studies showed that flerovium was more reactive than copernicium, in contradiction to previous experiments and predictions.

Current results (see flerovium) have shown that the sensitivity of this experiment was too low by at least 6 orders of magnitude.

They found the early data inconclusive, but accepted the results of 2004-2007 as flerovium, and the element was officially recognized as having been discovered.

Fluorine would be able to also form the unstable flerovium(IV) analogues.

The now-confirmed discovery of flerovium was made in June 1999 when the Dubna team repeated the first reaction from 1998.

This section deals with the synthesis of nuclei of flerovium by so-called "cold" fusion reactions.

Say hello to flerovium and livermorium, also known as Fl and Lv.

A single atom of flerovium, decaying by alpha emission with a lifetime of 30.4 seconds, was detected.

Using Mendeleev's nomenclature for unnamed and undiscovered elements, flerovium is sometimes called eka-lead.

On the other hand, with highly electronegative elements, ununoctium seems to form more stable compounds than for example copernicium or flerovium.

The isotope copernicium-283 was instrumental in the confirmation of the discoveries of the elements flerovium and livermorium.

The first experiments on the synthesis of flerovium were performed by the team in Dubna in November 1998.
