  Ununoctium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Ununoctium is the temporary name of an undiscovered chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uuo and has the atomic number 118.
The name Ununoctium is used as a placeholder, such as in scientific articles about the search for Element 118; it is Dog Latin "one-one-eight-ium" ("ium" being a standard ending for element names).
Such transuranic elements are always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist or the town of their discovery á; la darmstadtium.

 Michael Swanwick's Periodic Table of Science Fiction
Ununoctium was discovered in 1999 by a team of scientists at Berkeley Laboratory who created three atoms of Element 118 by fusing krypton-86 with lead-208.
Ununoctium, however, is a cat not only of a different color but of a different temperament altogether.
Neither viewpoint describes ununoctium as it really is. Because after it's all over and done with, it pops into existence again, as inevitable as the dawn.

 Ununoctium (Uuo) - Chemical properties, Health and Environmental effects
Ununoctium is the temporary name of a retracted chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uuo and has the atomic number 118.
Ununoctium would probably share the properties of its group, the noble gases, resembling radon in its chemical properties.
Ununoctium doesn’t occur naturally, it has not been found in the earth’s crust, so there is no reason to consider its environmental effects.

Ununoctium (eka-radon) is the name of an—as yet undiscovered— chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uuo and atomic number 118.
If discovered, it would probably share the properties of its group, the noble gases, resembling radon in its chemical properties; as such, some research has referred to it as "eka-radon".
In June 2002, the director uses of ununoctium of the lab announced that the original claim of the discovery of these two elements had been based on data fabricated by principal author Victor Ninov.

In 1999 a research team at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Calif. bombarded lead-208 atoms with high-energy krypton-86 ions to create three atoms of element 118 with mass number 293 and a half-life of less than a millisecond.
No name has yet been suggested for element 118, which is therefore called ununoctium, from the Latin roots un for one and oct for eight, under a convention for neutral temporary names proposed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in 1980.

 How many known elements are there now?
Note that Elements 113,115 and 117 have not yet been discovered.
Also note that the elements such as 118(Ununoctium)are very unstable, although Ununoctium technically should be a noble gas and thus stable, it has an incredibly short life and will decay to element 116 in a fraction of a second.
It has been theorized that elements with atomic numbers approaching 125 will be stable at normal conditions and could be used for various industrial purposes.
