Moscovium
Unknown propertiesunknownblock p
A superheavy element made by firing calcium at americium, whose decay chain was itself the confirming evidence for discovering tennessine.

About Moscovium
Moscovium was first made at Dubna in 2003 by bombarding americium-243 with calcium-48, and it was formally recognised alongside nihonium, tennessine and oganesson in 2015, completing the seventh row of the periodic table. It is named for the Moscow region, home of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Its alpha-decay chain runs down through nihonium and roentgenium, and identifying those daughters is how several superheavy claims were cross-checked. No chemistry has ever been attempted; theory predicts it would be a fairly reactive metal under bismuth, possibly with a stable +1 state driven by the inert-pair effect running at full relativistic strength, but nothing is measured, so no category is claimed.
