 * Atomic Number: 116 **


 * Protons: ** 116


 * Electrons:** Unknown!


 * Neutrons:** 116
 * Average Atomic Mass: 116 **


 * Isotopes: None! **


 * Discovery:** On December 6, 2000, scientists working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, along with scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, announced the creation of ununhexium. They produced ununhexium by bombarding atoms of curium-248 with ions of calcium-48. This produced ununhexium-292, an isotope with a half-life of about 0.6 milliseconds (0.0006 seconds), and four free neutrons. Ununhexium's most stable isotope, ununhexium-291, has a half-life of about 18 milliseconds. It decays into ununquadium-287 through alpha decay.


 * Name:** The name ununhexium is a temporary name meaning one-one-six-ium but because it is artificially produced, it is considered to have properties of polonium and tullurium.


 * Uses:** Since this elements half-life is so short, the only use for it is scientific research.


 * Interesting Facts**: This element is radioactive and artificially produced!!!
