Moscovium is now the heaviest element whose chemical properties we know something about.
Both elements have been shown to be modestly reactive, but making any useful compounds still runs up against their incredibly short half-lives.
Nihonium-286 lasts a relatively stately 9.5 seconds , but there is still no time to waste.
Copernicium (element 112 ) has previously been shown to also be less reactive than either of the elements studied in this experiment. If they lasted longer, flerovium atoms might be useful for replacing lead in products like batteries. As it is, it’s hard to imagine any practical device made with any of these elements, but understanding their chemistry may help us find applications for longer-lasting elements. The study is published in Frontiers in Chemistry..
