Roentgenium
Unknown propertiesunknownblock d
A synthetic element that would sit directly beneath gold, made three atoms at a time and gone in seconds, never once observed as a metal.
| Atomic number | 111 |

About Roentgenium
Roentgenium was first detected in 1994 at GSI, three atoms from a nickel-on-bismuth reaction, and named for Wilhelm Röntgen, who discovered X-rays in 1895 and took the first Nobel Prize in Physics for it. Sitting under gold, it is one of the more tantalising unmeasured elements: relativistic calculations predict a 6d⁹ 7s² ground state rather than the 6d¹⁰ 7s¹ that copper, silver and gold all adopt, and suggest roentgenium would form a stable −1 anion and might be more reactive than gold rather than less. All of that remains theory. No chemical experiment has been attempted, which is why the category is left unknown.
