NOMENCLATURE OF ELEMENTS

The IUPAC was utilised to ratify the proposed name as well
as the discoverer's privilege when naming the new elements
(or discoverers). Recent years have seen a lot of discussion
around this. Very small amounts of the new, extremely high
atomic number elements—occasionally as few as a few atoms
—are ever identified due to their extraordinary volatility. It
takes a lab and very expensive equipment to synthesise and
characterise them.
Only a small number of laboratories worldwide perform such
work in a competitive manner.
There are occasions when scientists feel pressured to declare
the discovery of an element before they have strong data to
back them up. As an example, element 104 was found by
