It would most likely be extremely reactive with water. Interestingly, it would be the first radioactive liquid (if guesses are right) to be discovered. There are radioactive solids, and radon is a gas but there are no liquids. It would also be only the second liquid metal (the other being mercury). History The name ununennium is used as a placeholder, such as in scientific articles about the search for element 119. Such transuranic elements are always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist. See systematic element name. External links
